From a geometric perspective, we employ metric mean dimension to investigate the set of generic points of invariant measures and saturated sets in infinite entropy systems. For systems with the specification property, we establish certain…

The selection of an equilibrium state by maximising the entropy of a system, subject to certain constraints, is often powerfully motivated as an exercise in logical inference, a procedure where conclusions are reached on the basis of…

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the variational principle, which states that the topological entropy is equal to the supremum of the measure theoretical entropies and also the minimum of the metric theoretical entropies, to…

This work is concerned with optimal control of partial differential equations where the control enters the state equation as a coefficient and should take on values only from a given discrete set of values corresponding to available…

Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is an invariant of measure-preserving actions of the group of integers that is central to classification theory. There are two recently developed invariants, sofic entropy and Rokhlin entropy, that generalize…

This paper explores some sufficient conditions for the enhanced solvability of strong vector equilibrium problems, which can be established via a variational approach. Enhanced solvability here means existence of solutions, which are strong…

We propose composite approache to the special sum-type convex optimization problem with affine restriction and special entropy type regularization. Since the fuctional has a penalty type form, we reformulate initial conditional optimization…

We propose a general method for optimization with semi-infinite constraints that involve a linear combination of functions, focusing on the case of the exponential function. Each function is lower and upper bounded on sub-intervals by…
