Entropy rate of sequential data-streams naturally quantifies the complexity of the generative process. Thus entropy rate fluctuations could be used as a tool to recognize dynamical perturbations in signal sources, and could potentially be…
The defining property of an artificial physical self-replicating system, such as a self-replicating robot, is that it has the ability to make copies of itself from basic parts. Three questions that immediately arises in the study of such…
We find that the standard relative entropy and the Umegaki entropy are designed for the purpose of inferentially updating probability and density matrices respectively. From the same set of inferentially guided design criteria, both of the…
New entropy measures have been recently introduced for the quantification of the complexity of networks. Most of these entropy measures apply to static networks or to dynamical processes defined on static complex networks. In this paper we…

It is shown that the residual entropy (entropy minus that of the ideal gas at the same temperature and density) is mostly synonymous with the independent variable of density scaling, identifying a direct link between these two approaches.…
Entropy and differential entropy are important quantities in information theory. A tractable extension to singular random variables-which are neither discrete nor continuous-has not been available so far. Here, we present such an extension…
Regularization of control policies using entropy can be instrumental in adjusting predictability of real-world systems. Applications benefiting from such approaches range from, e.g., cybersecurity, which aims at maximal unpredictability, to…

Via a coupling argument, it is proved that the solution to a renewal equation has a power law decay rate in the case of a spread out interarrival distribution. By the regenerative property, the convergence in distribution for the recurrence…
Finding the entropy rate of Hidden Markov Processes is an active research topic, of both theoretical and practical importance. A recently used approach is studying the asymptotic behavior of the entropy rate in various regimes. In this…
The macroscopic dynamics of large populations of neurons can be mathematically analyzed using low-dimensional firing-rate or neural-mass models. However, these models fail to capture spike synchronization effects of stochastic spiking…
In this work, we introduce a notion of reachability entropy to characterize the smallest data rate which is sufficient enough to enforce reach-while-stay specification. We also define data rates of coder-controllers that can enforce this…
The study is devoted to definition of generalized metrical and topological (informational entropy) characteristics of neural signals via their well-known theoretical models. We have shown that time dependence of action potential of neurons…

Entropy is a measure of self-information which is used to quantify losses. Entropy was developed in thermodynamics, but is also used to compare probabilities based on their deviating information content. Corresponding model uncertainty is…
The relationship between the spectral density and free energy of a spin system is considered. The analytical expressions allowing for the calculation of the spectral density for solvable models are determined. A linear Ising model is taken…
