Inspired by Katok's intermediate entropy property [Inst. Hautes \'Etudes Sci. Publ. Math. 51 (1980), 137-173], we introduce and study the notion of entropy flexibility for discrete-time and continuous-time dynamical systems. By using…

The entanglement entropy, ${\cal S}$, is an indicator of quantum correlations in the ground state of a many body quantum system. At a second-order quantum phase-transition point in one dimension ${\cal S}$ generally has a logarithmic…

The relation between saddle points of the potential of a classical many-particle system and the analyticity properties of its Boltzmann entropy is studied. For finite systems, each saddle point is found to cause a nonanalyticity in the…

Let recall that the term 'k-th extreme' was introduced in a limiting sense. That is, if $X_{r:n}$ denote the r-th order statistic then for fix k, as $n\to\infty$, $X_{n-k+1:n}$ is called the k-th extremes or k-th largest order statistics.…

A classical upper bound for quantum entropy is identified and illustrated, $0\leq S_q \leq \ln (e \sigma^2 / 2\hbar)$, involving the variance $\sigma^2$ in phase space of the classical limit distribution of a given system. A fortiori, this…

We ask the question whether entropy accumulates, in the sense that the operationally relevant total uncertainty about an $n$-partite system $A = (A_1, \ldots A_n)$ corresponds to the sum of the entropies of its parts $A_i$. The Asymptotic…
