The science of thermodynamics was put together in the Nineteenth Century to describe large systems in equilibrium. One part of thermodynamics defines entropy for equilibrium systems and demands an ever-increasing entropy for non-equilibrium…

A statistical model for the fragmentation of a conserved quantity is analyzed, using the principle of maximum entropy and the theory of partitions. Upper and lower bounds for the restricted partitioning problem are derived and applied to…

According to the second law of thermodynamics, the arrow of time points to an ever increasing entropy of the Universe. However, exactly how the entropy evolves with time and what drives the growth remain largely unknown. Here, for the first…

Finding the entropy rate of Hidden Markov Processes is an active research topic, of both theoretical and practical importance. A recently used approach is studying the asymptotic behavior of the entropy rate in various regimes. In this…

Many complex systems are characterized by non-Boltzmann distribution functions of their statistical variables. If one wants to -- justified or not -- hold on to the maximum entropy principle for complex statistical systems (non-Boltzmann)…

Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be the digits in the base-$q$ expansion of a random variable $X$ defined on $[0,1)$ where $q\ge2$ is an integer. For $n=1,2,...$, we study the probability distribution $P_n$ of the (scaled) remainder…

We derive a generalized gradient approximation to the exchange energy to be used in density functional theory calculations of two-dimensional systems. This class of approximations has a long and successful history, but it has not yet been…

Substitution systems evolve in time by generating sequences of symbols from a finite alphabet: At a certain iteration step, the existing symbols are systematically replaced by blocks of $N_{k}$ symbols also within the alphabet (with…

This article presents a general description of dynamical systems using the language of enriched functors and enriched natural transformations. This framework is essential to establish the equivalence of three descriptions of dynamics -- a…

In statistical physics, entropy is generally logarithm of probability. Therefore, if dynamics is decomposed by log, entropy production should be decomposed properly. In the present work, log-decomposition of dynamics is introduced. By which…

The time evolution of complex systems usually can be described through stochastic processes. These processes are measured at finite resolution, what necessarily reduces them to finite sequences of real numbers. In order to relate these data…

Particle Flow Filters estimate the ``a posteriori" probability density function (PDF) by moving an ensemble of particles according to the likelihood. Particles are propagated under the system dynamics until a measurement becomes available…

We develop new techniques for computing the metric entropy of ellipsoids -- with polynomially decaying semi-axes -- in Banach spaces. Besides leading to a unified and comprehensive framework, these tools deliver numerous novel results as…

The gap in statistics between multi-variate and time-series analysis can be bridged by using entropy statistics and recent developments in multi-dimensional scaling. For explaining the evolution of the sciences as non-linear dynamics, the…

A new classification scheme for real numbers is given, motivated by ideas from statistical mechanics in general and work of Knauf and of Fiala and Kleban in particular. Critical for this classification of a real number will be the…

We obtain a simple direct derivation of the differential equation governing the entropy flow probability distribution function of a stochastic system first obtained by Lebowitz and Spohn. Its solution agrees well with the experimental…

Controversy exists regarding the possible existence of a transition between the liquid and glassy states of water. Here we use experimental measurements of the entropy, specific heat, and enthalpy of both liquid and glassy water to…

We study large deviations for measurable averaging operators on state spaces of dynamical systems. Our main motivation is the Hecke operators on the modular curve Y_0(p^n) and their generalization to higher rank S-arithmetic quotients. We…

A definition of entropy via the Kolmogorov algorithmic complexity is discussed. As examples, we show how the meanfield theory for the Ising model, and the entropy of a perfect gas can be recovered. The connection with computations are…

We show one possible dynamical approach to the study of the distribution of prime numbers. Our approach is based on two complexity methods, the Computable Information Content and the Entropy Information Gain, looking for analogies between…
