We characterize the entropy and minimax risk of a broad class of compact pseudodifferential operators. Under suitable decay and regularity conditions on the symbol, we combine a Weyl-type asymptotic relation between the eigenvalue-counting…

We introduce the notion of metric entropy for a nonautonomous dynamical system given by a sequence of probability spaces and a sequence of measure-preserving maps between these spaces. This notion generalizes the classical concept of metric…

A power-free language is characterized by the number of symbols used and a limit on how many times a block of symbols can repeat consecutively. For certain values of these parameters, it is known that the number of legal words grows…

In this paper we introduce three notions of measure theoretical entropy of a measurable cover U in a measure theoretical dynamical system. Two of them were already introduced in [R] and the new one is defined only in the ergodic case. We…

Shannon entropy is widely used to quantify the uncertainty of discrete random variables. But when normalized to the unit interval, as is often done in practice, it no longer conveys the alphabet sizes of the random variables being studied.…

For a given topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ over a compact set $X$ with a metric $d$, the "variational principle" states that \begin{equation*} \sup_{\mu}h_\mu(T) = h(T) = h_d(T), \end{equation*} where $h_\mu(T)$ is 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…

The universal bound on specific entropy was originally inferred from black hole thermodynamics. We here show from classical thermodynamics alone that for a system at fixed volume or fixed pressure, the ratio of entropy to nonrelativistic…
