Diffusion-a measure of dynamics, and entropy-a measure of disorder in the system, are found to be intimately correlated in many systems, and the correlation is often strongly non-linear. We explore the origin of this complex dependence by…

Beta Rank Function (BRF) is a two-sided distribution characterized by a smooth peak and double powerlaw decay, widely used to model empirical data exhibiting deviations from pure power laws. In this paper, we introduce a novel two-step…
Entropy, its production, and its change in a dynamical system can be understood from either a fully stochastic dynamic description or from a deterministic dynamics exhibiting chaotic behavior. By taking the former approach based on the…
