The Boltzmann entropy $S^{(B)}$ is true in the case of equal probability of all microstates of a system. In the opposite case it should be averaged over all microstates that gives rise to the Boltzmann--Shannon entropy (BSE). Maximum…

The maximum entropy principle advocates to evaluate events' probabilities using a distribution that maximizes entropy among those that satisfy certain expectations' constraints. Such principle can be generalized for arbitrary decision…

In this work we develop on the recently suggested concept of superstatistics [C. Beck and E.G.D. Cohen, Physica A {\bf 322}, 267 (2003)], face the problem of devising a viable way for estimating the correct statistics for a system in…

We revisit the maximum-entropy inference of the state of a finite-level quantum system under linear constraints. The constraints are specified by the expected values of a set of fixed observables. We point out the existence of…

We present a technique for entropy optimization to calculate a distribution from its moments. The technique is based upon maximizing a discretized form of the Shannon entropy functional by mapping the problem onto a dual space where an…

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…

Most of the existing classification methods are aimed at minimization of empirical risk (through some simple point-based error measured with loss function) with added regularization. We propose to approach this problem in a more information…

We propose a method to derive the stationary size distributions of a system, and the degree distributions of networks, using maximisation of the Gibbs-Shannon entropy. We apply this to a preferential attachment-type algorithm for systems of…

The joint eigenvalue distributions of random-matrix ensembles are derived by applying the principle maximum entropy to the Renyi, Abe and Kaniadakis entropies. While the Renyi entropy produces essentially the same matrix-element…

We study minimization of a parametric family of relative entropies, termed relative $\alpha$-entropies (denoted $\mathscr{I}_{\alpha}(P,Q)$). These arise as redundancies under mismatched compression when cumulants of compressed lengths are…

Entropy serves as a central observable which indicates uncertainty in many chemical, thermodynamical, biological and ecological systems, and the principle of the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) is widely supported in natural science. Recently,…
