Weak solutions $m\colon\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}^2$ of the eikonal equation \begin{align*} |m|=1\text{ a.e. and }\mathrm{div}\: m =0\,, \end{align*} arise naturally as sharp interface limits of bounded energy configurations in…
The Aviles-Giga energy provides sequences of maps converging to weak solutions $m\colon\Omega \subset\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2$ of the eikonal equation \begin{align*} \mathrm{div}\, m=0\text{ in }\mathcal D'(\Omega),\quad |m|=1\text{ a.e.…
We study the entropy production rate in systems described by linear Langevin equations, containing mixed even and odd variables under time reversal. Exact formulas are derived for several important quantities in terms only of the means and…
We show a connection between global unconstrained optimization of a continuous function $f$ and weak KAM theory for an eikonal-type equation arising also in ergodic control. A solution $v$ of the critical Hamilton-Jacobi equation is built…
We generalize the usual exponential Boltzmann factor to any reasonable and potentially observable distribution function, $B(E)$. By defining generalized logarithms $\Lambda$ as inverses of these distribution functions, we are led to a…
The Aviles-Giga functional $I_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_{\Omega} \frac{\left|1-\left|\nabla u\right|^2\right|^2}{\epsilon}+\epsilon \left|\nabla^2 u\right|^2 \, dx$ is a well known second order functional that models phenomena from blistering to…
Entropy production is the crucial quantity characterizing irreversible phenomena and the second law of thermodynamics. Yet, a ubiquitous definition eludes consensus. Given that entropy production arises from incomplete access to…
We study the entanglement entropy of random partitions in one- and two-dimensional critical fermionic systems. In an infinite system we consider a finite, connected (hypercubic) domain of linear extent $L$, the points of which with…
The entropy functional formalism allows one to recover general relativity, modified gravity theories, as well as the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula. In most approaches to quantum gravity, the Bekenstein-Hawking's entropy formula…
Given any strictly convex norm $\|\cdot\|$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ that is $C^1$ in $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus\{0\}$, we study the generalized Aviles-Giga functional \[I_{\epsilon}(m):=\int_{\Omega} \left(\epsilon \left|\nabla m\right|^2 +…
We derive an exact (classical and quantum) expression for the entropy production of a finite system placed in contact with one or several finite reservoirs each of which is initially described by a canonical equilibrium distribution.…
We provide a method to compute the entropy-satisfying weak solution to the eikonal equation in an arbitrary-order polynomial space. The method uses an artificial viscosity approach and is demonstrated for the signed distance function, where…
We compute the entropy of entanglement in the ground states of a general class of quantum spin-chain Hamiltonians - those that are related to quadratic forms of Fermi operators - between the first N spins and the rest of the system in the…
A derivation of the Boltzmann equation from the Liouville equation by the use of the Grad limiting procedure in a finite volume is proposed. We introduce two scales of space-time: macro- and microscale and use the BBGKY hierarchy and the…
Predictive inference requires balancing statistical accuracy against informational complexity, yet the choice of complexity measure is usually imposed rather than derived. We treat econometric objects as predictive rules, mappings from…
The large deviation function for entropy production is calculated for a particle driven along a periodic potential by solving a time-independent eigenvalue problem. In an intermediate force regime, the large deviation function shows…
We prove a large deviation principle (LDP) and a fluctuation theorem (FT) for the entropy production rate (EPR) of the following $d$ dimensional stochastic differential equation \begin{equation*} d X_{t}=AX_{t} d t+\sqrt{Q} d B_{t}…
On a fine grained scale the Gibbs entropy of an isolated system remains constant throughout its dynamical evolution. This is a consequence of Liouville's theorem for Hamiltonian systems and appears to contradict the second law of…
Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend thermodynamic considerations all the way to non-equilibrium…
Entropy production is a universal measure of irreversibility and energy dissipation in physical, chemical, and biological systems operating far from equilibrium. However, quantifying and spatiotemporally localising it in complex processes…
