We partially generalize Peters' formula on modules over the group ring ${\mathbb F} \Gamma$ for a given finite field ${\mathbb F}$ and a sofic group $\Gamma$. It is also discussed that how the values of entropy are related to the zero…

We study the effect of the choice of embedding geometry on the entropy of random geometric graph ensembles with soft connection functions. First we show that when the connection range is small, the entropy is dependent only on the dimension…

Ergodic theory includes several notions of entropy for probability-preserving actions of countable groups. These include Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy based on F\o lner sequences for amenable groups, entropy defined using a random ordering of…

In classical Hamiltonian theories, entropy may be understood either as a statistical property of canonical systems, or as a mechanical property, that is, as a monotonic function of the phase space along trajectories. In classical mechanics,…

For random dynamical systems, by summarizing the fundamental properties of Kifer's topological pressure we introduce the concept of random pressure functions, and define Ruelle's metric entropy for invariant measures. Employing the…

In this paper we define unstable topological entropy for any subsets (not necessarily compact or invariant) in partially hyperbolic systems as a Carath\'{e}odory dimension characteristic, motivated by the work of Bowen and Pesin etc. We…

Previous work introduced two measure-conjugacy invariants: the $f$-invariant (for actions of free groups) and $\Sigma$-entropy (for actions of sofic groups). The purpose of this paper is to show that the $f$-invariant is a special case of…

We consider an entropy-type invariant which measures the polynomial volume growth of submanifolds under the iterates of a map, and we establish sharp uniform lower bounds of this invariant for the following classes of symplectomorphisms of…

A transition matrix can be constructed through the partial contraction of two given quantum states. We analyze and compare four different definitions of entropy for transition matrices, including (modified) pseudo entropy, SVD entropy, and…

Inferring models, predicting the future, and estimating the entropy rate of discrete-time, discrete-event processes is well-worn ground. However, a much broader class of discrete-event processes operates in continuous-time. Here, we provide…

In this document we are interested in entropy. Entropy is multiple, the idea is to describe the definition proposed by the physicist Clausius. Indeed, Clausius exposes in 1865 the second principle of thermodynamics and also proposes the…

We shall prove that the celebrated R\'enyi entropy is the first example of a new family of infinitely many multi-parametric entropies. We shall call them the $Z$-entropies. Each of them, under suitable hypotheses, generalizes the celebrated…

One of the few accepted dynamical foundations of non-additive "non-extensive") statistical mechanics is that the choice of the appropriate entropy functional describing a system with many degrees of freedom should reflect the rate of growth…
