The postulates of thermodynamics were originally formulated for macroscopic systems. They lead to the definition of the entropy, which, for a homogeneous system, is a homogeneous function of order one in the extensive variables and is…

In this work we study the evolution of Boltzmann's entropy in the context of free expansion of a one dimensional interacting gas inside a box. Boltzmann's entropy is defined for single microstates and is given by the phase-space volume…

For a massive spin 1/2 field, we present the reduced spin and helicity density matrix, respectively, for the same pure one particle state. Their relation has also been developed. Furthermore, we calculate and compare the corresponding…

We propose a compression-based version of the empirical entropy of a finite string over a finite alphabet. Whereas previously one considers the naked entropy of (possibly higher order) Markov processes, we consider the sum of the…

The fermionic relative entropy in two-dimensional Rindler spacetime is studied using both modular theory and the reduced one-particle density operators. The methods and results are compared. A formula for the relative entropy for general…

The notion of topological free entropy dimension of $n-$tuples of elements in a unital C$^*$ algebra was introduced by Voiculescu. In the paper, we compute topological free entropy dimension of one self-adjoint element and topological orbit…

We give another definition of orbital free entropy introduced by Hiai, Miyamoto and us, which does not need the hyperfiniteness assumption for each given random multi-variable. The present definition is somehow related to one of its several…

Given a large real symmetric, positive semidefinite m-by-m matrix, the goal of this paper is to show how a numerical approximation of the entropy, given by the sum of the entropies of the individual eigenvalues, can be computed in an…

The extension $k \mapsto \mu^{\boxplus k}$ of the concept of a free convolution power to the case of non-integer $k \geq 1$ was introduced by Bercovici-Voiculescu and Nica-Speicher, and related to the minor process in random matrix theory.…

Based on the form invariance of the structures given by Khinchin's axiomatic foundations of information theory and the pseudoadditivity of the Tsallis entropy indexed by q, the concept of conditional entropy is generalized to the case of…

One of the few accepted dynamical foundations of non-additive "non-extensive") statistical mechanics is that the choice of the appropriate entropy functional describing a system with many degrees of freedom should reflect the rate of growth…
