The aim of this study is to generalise recent results of the two last authors on en-tropy methods for measure solutions of the renewal equation to other classes of structured population problems. Specifically, we develop a generalised…
A set of algorithms is presented for efficient numerical calculation of the time evolution of classical dynamical systems. Starting with a first approximation for solving the differential equations that has a "reversible" character, we show…
In modeling the interior of cells by simulating a reaction-diffusion master equation over a grid of compartments, one employs the assumption that the copy numbers of various chemical species are small, discrete quantities. We show that in…
Shannon and Khinchin showed that assuming four information theoretic axioms the entropy must be of Boltzmann-Gibbs type, $S=-\sum_i p_i \log p_i$. Here we note that in physical systems one of these axioms may be violated. For non-ergodic…
Fix a base B and let zeta have the standard exponential distribution; the distribution of digits of zeta base B is known to be very close to Benford's Law. If there exists a C such that the distribution of digits of C times the elements of…
We construct the complete set of orders of growth and we define on it the generalized entropy of a dynamical systems. With this object we provide a framework where we can study the separation of orbits of a map beyond the scope of…
We build a comprehensive methodology for the fast computation of entropy across both solid and liquid phases. The proposed method utilizes a single trajectory of molecular dynamics (MD) to facilitate the calculation of entropy, which is…
We derive generic upper bounds on the rate of purity change and entropy increase for open quantum systems. These bounds depend solely on the generators of the nonunitary dynamics and are independent of the particular states of the systems.…
This paper studies the problem of estimating the differential entropy $h(S+Z)$, where $S$ and $Z$ are independent $d$-dimensional random variables with $Z\sim\mathcal{N}(0,\sigma^2 \mathrm{I}_d)$. The distribution of $S$ is unknown, but $n$…
We study Poincar\'e recurrence from a purely geometrical viewpoint. We prove that the metric entropy is given by the exponential growth rate of return times to dynamical balls. This is the geometrical counterpart of Ornstein-Weiss theorem.…
Entropy is a fundamental property of a repertoire. Here, we present an efficient algorithm to estimate the entropy of types with the help of Zhang's estimator. The algorithm takes advantage of the fact that the number of different…
We consider the linear growth-fragmentation equation arising in the modelling of cell division or polymerisation processes. For constant coefficients, we prove that the dynamics converges to the steady state with an exponential rate. The…
We propose a new way to measure the balance between freedom and coherence in a dynamical system and a new measure of its internal variability. Based on the concept of entropy and ideas from neuroscience and information theory, we define…
We consider a random interval splitting process, in which the splitting rule depends on the empirical distribution of interval lengths. We show that this empirical distribution converges to a limit almost surely as the number of intervals…
Dissipative quantum systems are frequently described within the framework of the so-called "system-plus-reservoir" approach. In this work we assign their description to the Maximum Entropy Formalism and compare the resulting thermodynamic…
A unified formulation of the density functional theory is constructed on the foundations of entropic inference in both the classical and the quantum regimes. The theory is introduced as an application of entropic inference for inhomogeneous…
Diffusion-a measure of dynamics, and entropy-a measure of disorder in the system, are found to be intimately correlated in many systems, and the correlation is often strongly non-linear. We explore the origin of this complex dependence by…
Recent years have seen very important developments at the interface of Diophantine approximation and homogeneous dynamics. In the first part of the paper we give a brief exposition of a dictionary developed by Dani and Kleinbock-Margulis…
The present paper is concerned with equidistribution results for certain flows on homogeneous spaces and related questions in Diophantine approximation. Firstly, we answer in the affirmative, a question raised by Kleinbock, Shi and Weiss…
