It is shown that there is a mapping of the replica approach to disordered systems with finite replica index $n$ on the Tsallis non-extensive statistics, if the average thermodynamic entropy differs from the information entropy for the…

We prove characterization theorems for relative entropy (also known as Kullback-Leibler divergence), q-logarithmic entropy (also known as Tsallis entropy), and q-logarithmic relative entropy. All three have been characterized axiomatically…

Statistical mechanics is generalized on the basis of an information theory for inexact or incomplete probability distributions. A parameterized normalization is proposed and leads to a nonextensive entropy. The resulting incomplete…

We propose a regularization framework inspired by thermodynamic work for guiding pre-trained probability flow generative models (e.g., continuous normalizing flows or diffusion models) by minimizing excess work, a concept rooted in…

Annealing algorithms such as simulated annealing and population annealing are widely used both for sampling the Gibbs distribution and solving optimization problems (i.e. finding ground states). For both statistical mechanics and…

The method of maximum entropy (ME) is extended to address the following problem: Once one accepts that the ME distribution is to be preferred over all others, the question is to what extent are distributions with lower entropy supposed to…
