We generate new hierarchy of many-parameter family of maps of the interval [0,1] with an invariant measure, by composition of the chaotic maps of reference [1]. Using the measure, we calculate Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, or equivalently…

By decoupling forward and backward stochastic trajectories, we construct a family of martingales and work theorems for both overdamped and underdamped Langevin dynamics. Our results are made possible by an alternative derivation of work…

Feng--Huang (2016) introduced weighted topological entropy and pressure for factor maps between dynamical systems and established its variational principle. Tsukamoto (2022) redefined those invariants quite differently for the simplest case…

For a locally compact sofic group continuously acting on a compact metric space, we first study the relative sofic entropy and prove an additive inequality relating sofic entropy and relative sofic entropy. Moreover, it is shown that the…

The maximum entropy approach operating with quite general entropy measure and constraint is considered. It is demonstrated that for a conditional or parametrized probability distribution $f(x|\mu)$ there is a "universal" relation among the…

Making statistical predictions requires tackling two problems: one must assign appropriate probability distributions and then one must calculate a variety of expected values. The method of maximum entropy is commonly used to address the…

The aim of this note is to introduce a notion of dynamical entropy, which we call infinite-product entropy, for probability measures on (countable) infinite cartesian product of any measurable space with itself. The idea behind the…

For a subshift $(X, \sigma_X)$ and a subadditive sequence $\mathcal{F}=\{\log f_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on $X$, we study equivalent conditions for the existence of $h\in C(X)$ such that $\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}(1/{n})\int \log f_n d \mu=\int…

Entropy is one of the key thermodynamic variables reflecting changes in the state of matter. Unlike other thermodynamic variables, it is well-defined also for nonequilibrium steady states through its relation to information. Applying this…
