“A high school student used our concept to calculate the entropy of a complex physical system: the XY model,” says Professor Roy Beck. “Although this is considered a challenging problem with ...

A new study proposes a radically simple and efficient way of calculating the complex physical quantity known as entropy -- and it probably exists on your own computer.

The classical maximum entropy (ME) approach to estimating the unknown parameters of a multinomial discrete choice problem, which is equivalent to the maximum likelihood multinomial logit (ML) ...

Second, we show that the Gross's logarithmic Sobolev inequality is a direct consequence of the lower bound for the entropy production relative to Fisher information. The entropy production arguments ...

An idea that the Universe tries to maximise its future disorder, or entropy, seems to drive the development of a wide array of behaviours in simulations.
