In this second part, we analyze the dissipation properties of Generalized Poisson-Kac (GPK) processes, considering the decay of suitable $L^2$-norms and the definition of entropy functions. In both cases, consistent energy dissipation and…

We propose a generalisation of Gibbs' statistical mechanics into the domain of non-negligible phase space correlations. Derived are the probability distribution and entropy as a generalised ensemble average, replacing…

In this paper we remark that Shannon entropy can be expressed as a function of the self-information (i.e. the logarithm) and the inverse of the Lambert $W$ function. It means that we consider that Shannon entropy has the trace form: $-k…

We present classes of monogamy inequalities related to the $\alpha$-th ($\alpha \geq 1$) power of the entanglement measure based on the unified-($q,s$) entropy, and polygamy inequalities related to the $\beta$-th ($0 \leq \beta \leq 1$)…
