We review a new form of entropy suggested by us, with origin in mixing of states of systems due to interactions and deformations of phase cells. It is demonstrated that this nonextensive form also leads to asymmetric maximal entropy…

We analyze information transmission in a recently proposed coarse-grained model of polymer replication by framing it as a communication channel between templates and copies. By calculating the mutual information in the steady-state limit of…

In this note we identify the distributional limits of non-negative, ergodic stationary processes, showing that all are possible. Consequences for infinite ergodic theory are also explored and new examples of distributionally stable- and…

We show that a residual set of non-degenerate IETs on more than 3 letters is topologically mixing. This shows that there exists a uniquely ergodic topologically mixing IET. This is then applied to show that some billiard flows in a fixed…

We characterize the growth of the Sibson and Arimoto mutual informations and $\alpha$-maximal leakage, of any order that is at least unity, between a random variable and a growing set of noisy, conditionally independent and…

We consider a new class of non Markovian processes with a countable number of interacting components. At each time unit, each component can take two values, indicating if it has a spike or not at this precise moment. The system evolves as…

We study N interacting random walks on the positive integers. Each particle has drift {\delta} towards infinity, a reflection at the origin, and a drift towards particles with lower positions. This inhomogeneous mean field system is shown…

The paper provides a systematic characterization of quantum ergodic and mixing channels in finite dimensions and a discussion of their structural properties. In particular, we discuss ergodicity in the general case where the fixed point of…

We present quantitative relations between work and information that are valid both for finite sized and internally correlated systems as well in the thermodynamical limit. We suggest work extraction should be viewed as a game where the…

We consider a simplified version of a solvable model by Mandal and Jarzynski, which constructively demonstrates the interplay between work extraction and the increase of the Shannon entropy of an information reservoir which is in contact…

Distributed systems, such as biological and artificial neural networks, process information via complex interactions engaging multiple subsystems, resulting in high-order patterns with distinct properties across scales. Investigating how…

For affine processes on finite-dimensional cones, we give criteria for geometric ergodicity - that is exponentially fast convergence to a unique stationary distribution. Ergodic results include both the existence of exponential moments of…

This letter studies the ergodic mutual information (EMI) of keyhole multiple-input multiple-output channels having finite-alphabet input signals. The EMI is first investigated for single-stream transmission considering both cases with and…

We study a one-parameter family of interval maps $\{T_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in[1,\beta]}$, with $\beta$ the golden mean, defined on $[-1,1]$ by $T_\alpha(x)=\beta^{1+|t|}x-t\beta\alpha$ where $t\in\{-1,0,1\}$. For each $T_\alpha,\ \alpha>1$, we…

Fluctuations in biochemical networks, e.g., in a living cell, have a complex origin that precludes a description of such systems in terms of bipartite or multipartite processes, as is usually done in the framework of stochastic and/or…
