Many thermodynamic relations involve inequalities, with equality if a process does not involve dissipation. In this article we provide equalities in which the dissipative contribution is shown to involve the relative entropy (a.k.a.…

Entropic aging consists in a progressive slowing down of the low-temperature dynamics of a glassy system due to the rarefaction of downwards directions on the energy landscape, as lower and lower energy levels are reached. A prototypical…
Numerical experiments support the interesting conjecture that statistical methods be applicable not only to fully-chaotic systems, but also at the edge of chaos by using Tsallis' generalizations of the standard exponential and entropy. In…
We show that the dissipation rate bounds the rate at which physical processes can be performed in stochastic systems far from equilibrium. Namely, for rare processes we prove the fundamental tradeoff $\langle \dot S_\text{e} \rangle…
The entropy of a digraph is a fundamental measure which relates network coding, information theory, and fixed points of finite dynamical systems. In this paper, we focus on the entropy of undirected graphs. We prove that for any integer $k$…

The interrelationships of the fundamental biological processes natural selection, mutation, and stochastic drift are quantified by the entropy rate of Moran processes with mutation, measuring the long-run variation of a Markov process. The…
We review recent progress on the zero-range process, a model of interacting particles which hop between the sites of a lattice with rates that depend on the occupancy of the departure site. We discuss several applications which have…
Dissipation and enstropy statistics are calculated for an ensemble of modified Burgers vortices in equilibrium under uniform straining. Different best-fit, finite-range scaling exponents are found for locally-averaged dissipation and…
In this paper, we introduce the generalized phase space $\left( \vec{r},\vec{v},\dot{\vec{v}},\ddot{\vec{v}},... \right)$, which expands the known phase space $\left( \vec{r},\vec{v} \right)$. The fact is that the introduced space is the…
