A convergent iterative procedure is proposed for the calculation of the relative entropy of entanglement of a given bipartite quantum state. When this state turns out to be non-separable the algorithm provides the corresponding optimal…
In this paper, we continue the investigation of quantum Markov states (QMS) and define their mean entropies. Such entropies are explicitly computed under certain conditions. The present work takes a huge leap forward at tackling one of the…
Calibration methods have been widely studied in survey sampling over the last decades. Viewing calibration as an inverse problem, we extend the calibration technique by using a maximum entropy method. Finding the optimal weights is achieved…
We develop a method for multidimensional optimisation using flow equations. This method is based on homotopy continuation in combination with a maximum entropy approach. Extrema of the optimising functional correspond to fixed points of the…
Many specific problems ranging from theoretical probability to applications in statistical physics, combinatorial optimization and communications can be formulated as an optimal tuning of local parameters in large systems of interacting…
The volume of phase space may grow super-exponentially ("explosively") with the number of degrees of freedom for certain types of complex systems such as those encountered in biology and neuroscience, where components interact and create…
Even if a probability distribution is properly normalizable, its associated Shannon (or von Neumann) entropy can easily be infinite. We carefully analyze conditions under which this phenomenon can occur. Roughly speaking, this happens when…
In this note we construct measures of maximal entropy for a certain class of maps with critical points called Viana maps. The main ingredients of the proof are the non-uniform expansion features and the slow recurrence (to the critical set)…
Depending on context, the term entropy is used for a thermodynamic quantity, a~measure of available choice, a quantity to measure information, or, in the context of statistical inference, a maximum configuration predictor. For systems in…
Although compartmental dynamical systems are used in many different areas of science, model selection based on the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) is challenging because of the lack of methods for quantifying the entropy for this type of…
The maximum entropy method is shown to be a special limit of the stochastic analytic continuation method introduced by Sandvik [Phys. Rev. B 57, 10287 (1998)]. We employ a mapping between the analytic continuation problem and a system of…
The method of maximum entropy is quite a powerful tool to solve the generalized moment problem, which consists of determining the probability density of a random variable X from the knowledge of the expected values of a few functions of the…
It is supposed that the exponential multiplier in the method of the non-equilibrium statistical operator (Zubarev`s approach) can be considered as a distribution density of the past lifetime of the system, and can be replaced by an…
Jaynes' maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle was recently used to give a conditional, local derivation of the ``maximum entropy production'' (MEP) principle, which states that a flow system with fixed flow(s) or gradient(s) will converge to a…
The past few decades have seen great leaps in technologies to analyze cells and tissues. Omics methods in particular now allow us unprecedented access to their the molecular composition where the base-level resolution of transcripts and…
After the justification of the maximum entropy approach for equilibrium thermodynamic system, and of a maximum path entropy algorithm for nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems by virtue of the principle of virtual work, we present in this…
Maximum entropy (maxEnt) inference of state probabilities using state-dependent constraints is popular in the study of complex systems. In stochastic dynamical systems, the effect of state space topology and path-dependent constraints on…
When an informationally complete measurement is not available, the reconstruction of the density operator that describes the state of a quantum system can be accomplish, in a reliable way, by adopting the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt…
The thermodynamic definition of entropy can be extended to nonequilibrium systems based on its relation to information. To apply this definition in practice requires access to the physical system's microstates, which may be prohibitively…
We construct a new sufficient conditions for boundedness or continuity of arbitrary random fields relying on the so-called partition scheme, alike in the classical majorizing measure method. We deduce also the used in the practice…
