We show that the Schnakenberg's entropy production rate in a master equation is lower bounded by a function of the weight of the Markov graph, here defined as the sum of the absolute values of probability currents over the edges. The result…
A non-separable wave-like integro-differential equation for the time evolution of the Wigner distribution function in phase space is educed from the corresponding separable kinetic equation. It is shown that it leads to non-local dispersion…
We study numerically time evolution in classical lattices with weak or moderate nonlinearity which leads to interactions between linear modes. Our results show that in a certain strength range a moderate nonlinearity generates a dynamical…
We show that a proper expression of the uncertainty relation for a pair of canonically-conjugate continuous variables relies on entropy power, a standard notion in Shannon information theory for real-valued signals. The resulting…
A surrogate data analysis is presented, which is based on the fluctuations of the ``entropy'' $S$ defined in the natural time-domain [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 68}, 031106, 2003]. This entropy is not a static one as, for example, the Shannon…
We consider Shannon entropy, Fisher information, R\'enyi entropy, and Tsallis entropy to study the quantum droplet phase in Bose-Einstein condensates. In the beyond mean-field description, the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with Lee-Huang-Yang…
Shannon entropy for discrete distributions is a fundamental and widely used concept, but its continuous analogue, known as differential entropy, lacks essential properties such as positivity and compatibility with the discrete case. In this…
Inferring and comparing complex, multivariable probability density functions is fundamental to problems in several fields, including probabilistic learning, network theory, and data analysis. Classification and prediction are the two faces…
We consider the analysis of probability distributions through their associated covariance operators from reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We show that the von Neumann entropy and relative entropy of these operators are intimately related…
The Tsallis entropy, which is a generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, plays a central role in nonextensive statistical mechanics of complex systems. A lot of efforts have recently been made on establishing a dynamical foundation…
The review begins with a consideration of 3 forms of quantum information entropy associated with Shannon and Jaynes. For model two-electron spin compensated systems, some analytic progress is first reported. The Jaynes entropy is clearly…
General relationship between mean Boltzmann entropy and Gibbs entropy is established. It is found that their difference is equal to fluctuation entropy, which is a Gibbs-like entropy of macroscopic quantities. The ratio of the fluctuation…
The Tsallis entropy and Fisher information entropy (matrix) are very important quantities expressing information measures in nonextensive systems. Stationary and dynamical properties of the information entropies have been investigated in…
We investigate the concept of entropy in probabilistic theories more general than quantum mechanics, with particular reference to the notion of information causality recently proposed by Pawlowski et. al. (arXiv:0905.2992). We consider two…
Information plays an important role in our understanding of the physical world. We hence propose an entropic measure of information for any physical theory that admits systems, states and measurements. In the quantum and classical world,…
Simultaneous predictive densities for independent Poisson observables are investigated. The observed data and the target variables to be predicted are independently distributed according to different Poisson distributions parametrized by…
We analyzed the noncommutativity effects on the Fisher information (F_(r,p)) and Shannon entropies (S_(r,p)) of a harmonic oscillator immersed in a time-varying electric field in two and three dimensions. We find the exact solutions of the…
Entropy, and its temporal evolution, play a central role in the foundations of quantum theory and in modern quantum technologies. Here we study, in particular, the relations between the --- in general, non-Markovian --- evolution of an open…
We consider several low--dimensional chaotic maps started in far-from-equilibrium initial conditions and we study the process of relaxation to equilibrium. In the case of conservative maps the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy S(t) increases linearly…
Identical classical particles are distinguishable. This distinguishability affects the number of ways W a macrostate can be realized on the micro-level, and from the relation S = k ln W leads to a non-extensive expression for the entropy.…
