We extend algorithmic information theory to quantum mechanics, taking a universal semicomputable density matrix (``universal probability'') as a starting point, and define complexity (an operator) as its negative logarithm. A number of…

General probabilistic theories are designed to provide operationally the most general probabilistic models including both classical and quantum theories. In this letter, we introduce a systematic method to construct a series of entropies,…

The problem of positive Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of the Chirikov-Standard map with respect to the invariant Lebesgue measure on the two-dimensional is open. In 1999, we believed to have a proof that the entropy can be bounded below. This…

This study focuses on conditional entropy frameworks based on the Kolmogorov--Nagumo (KN) mean. First, $(\eta, \psi)$-KN averaging (\texttt{EPKNAVG}), a KN-mean extension of the $\eta$-averaging (\texttt{EAVG}) framework for $(\eta,…

The Kolmogorov axioms for probability functions are placed in the context of signed meadows. A completeness theorem is stated and proven for the resulting equational theory of probability calculus. Elementary definitions of probability…

Let $G$ and $H$ be infinite finitely generated amenable groups. This paper studies two notions of equivalence between actions of such groups on standard Borel probability spaces. They are defined as stable orbit equivalences in which the…

We investigate the topological entropy of operators. More precisely, in the Banach space setting, we show that compact operators have finite entropy, which depends solely on their point spectrum. Moreover, for operators on \(F\)-spaces, we…

This article starts with the fundamental theory of stochastic type convergence and the significance of uniform integrability in the context of expectation value. A novel probabilistic sampling kantorovich (PSK-operators) is established with…

Entropy rate is a real valued functional on the space of discrete random sources which lacks a closed formula even for subclasses of sources which have intuitive parameterizations. A good way to overcome this problem is to examine its…

Using only continuous partitions of unity, we provide equivalent definitions for the metric, topological and topological tail entropies and pressures of a continuous self-map of a compact set, as well as their conditional versions. A tail…

We produce a probabilistic space from logic, both classical and quantum, which is in addition partially ordered in such a way that entropy is monotone. In particular do we establish the following equation: Quantitative Probability = Logic +…

We study the multiple definitions of the entropy production for discrete-time Markov processes in single systems and composite systems. These definitions have been studied in single systems, but less so in composite systems. With a clear…
