Simulations of water near extended hydrophobic spherical solutes have revealed the presence of a region of depleted density and accompanying enhanced density fluctuations.The physical origin of both phenomena has remained somewhat obscure.…
The log-periodic equation for the entropy $S = - (k/a) \sum_{i=1}^{N} p_{i} \sin(a \ln p_{i})$, based on the forgotten Sharma-Taneja entropy measure, is studied for the first time with $N$ the total number of system states and $p_{i}$ the…

The (measure-theoretical) entropy of a diffeomorphism along an expanding invariant foliation is the rate of complexity generated by the diffeomorphism along the leaves of the foliation. We prove that this number varies upper…
Shannon entropy is widely used to quantify the uncertainty of discrete random variables. But when normalized to the unit interval, as is often done in practice, it no longer conveys the alphabet sizes of the random variables being studied.…

The notion of probability density for a random function is not as straightforward as in finite-dimensional cases. While a probability density function generally does not exist for functional data, we show that it is possible to develop the…

We establish upper and lower bounds for the metric entropy and bracketing entropy of the class of $d$-dimensional bounded monotonic functions under $L^p$ norms. It is interesting to see that both the metric entropy and bracketing entropy…
