Cover Story: The study of the thermodynamic properties of quantum conductors in the presence of time-dependent potentials is a new field which could have promising ramifications on different systems (Bose-Einstein condensates, nanoelectromechanical resonators, light-powered biological systems and molecular pumps). Our paper reviews recent investigations regarding energy transport and entropy production in periodically-driven quantum electronic systems, with emphasis on current questions and unsolved issues.View this paper.

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for the diagnosis of incipient bearing faults and trend prediction of weak faults which result in gradual aggravation with the bearing vibration intensity as the characteristic parameter. For the weak fault...

A simple harmonic oscillator canonical ensemble model for Schwarzchild black hole quantum tunneling radiation is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the equivalence between canonical ensemble model and Parikh–Wilczek’s tunneling method is introduced. Th...

The problem of time-dependent particle transport in quantum conductors is nowadays a well established topic. In contrast, the way in which energy and heat flow in mesoscopic systems subjected to dynamical drivings is a relatively new subject that cro...

Choosing between competing models lies at the heart of scientific work, and is a frequent motivation for experimentation. Optimal experimental design (OD) methods maximize the benefit of experiments towards a specified goal. We advance and demonstrat...

Multiscale entropy (MSE) was introduced in the 2000s to quantify systems’ complexity. MSE relies on (i) a coarse-graining procedure to derive a set of time series representing the system dynamics on different time scales; (ii) the computation of the...

Geometry Induced by a Generalization of Rényi Divergence

  • David C. De Souza,
  • Rui F. Vigelis and
  • Charles C. Cavalcante

17 November 2016

In this paper, we propose a generalization of Rényi divergence, and then we investigate its induced geometry. This generalization is given in terms of a φ-function, the same function that is used in the definition of non-parametric φ-families. The pr...
