In this paper we prove estimates on the behaviour of the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy relative to a partition for randomly perturbed dynamical systems. Our estimates use the entropy for the unperturbed system and are obtained using the notion…

An information-theoretic framework is introduced to analyze last-layer embedding, focusing on learned representations for regression tasks. We define representation-rate and derive limits on the reliability with which input-output…

In this paper, I expand Shannon's definition of entropy into a new form of entropy that allows integration of information from different random events. Shannon's notion of entropy is a special case of my more general definition of entropy.…

The formalism of statistical mechanics can be generalized by starting from more general measures of information than the Shannon entropy and maximizing those subject to suitable constraints. We discuss some of the most important examples of…

Numerous definitions for complexity have been proposed over the last half century, with little consensus achieved on how to use the term. A definition of complexity is supplied here that is closely related to the Kolmogorov Complexity and…

Building upon the work of Chebyshev, Shannon and Kontoyiannis, it may be demonstrated that Chebyshev's asymptotic result: \begin{equation} \ln N \sim \sum_{p \leq N} \frac{1}{p} \cdot \ln p \end{equation} has a natural information-theoretic…

The problem of defining and studying complexity of a time series has interested people for years. In the context of dynamical systems, Grassberger has suggested that a slow approach of the entropy to its extensive asymptotic limit is a sign…
