This paper introduces a new memristor-based hyperchaotic complex Lü system (MHCLS) and investigates its adaptive complex generalized synchronization (ACGS). Firstly, the complex system is constructed based on a memristor-based hyperchaotic real Lü sy...

Negentropy in Many-Body Quantum Systems

  • Piero Quarati,
  • Marcello Lissia and
  • Antonio M. Scarfone

22 February 2016

Negentropy (negative entropy) is the negative contribution to the total entropy of correlated many-body environments. Negentropy can play a role in transferring its related stored mobilizable energy to colliding nuclei that participate in spontaneous...

Varying Constants Entropic-ΛCDM Cosmology

  • Mariusz P. Da̧browski,
  • Hussain Gohar and
  • Vincenzo Salzano

22 February 2016

We formulate the basic framework of thermodynamical entropic force cosmology which allows variation of the gravitational constant G and the speed of light c. Three different approaches to the formulation of the field equations are presented. Some cos...

High Temperature Oxidation and Corrosion Properties of High Entropy Superalloys

  • Te-Kang Tsao,
  • An-Chou Yeh,
  • Chen-Ming Kuo and
  • Hideyuki Murakami

22 February 2016

The present work investigates the high temperature oxidation and corrosion behaviour of high entropy superalloys (HESA). A high content of various solutes in HESA leads to formation of complex oxides, however the Cr and Al activities of HESA are suff...

In this work, we propose a new approach of deriving the bounds between entropy and error from a joint distribution through an optimization means. The specific case study is given on binary classifications. Two basic types of classification errors are...

We present an information-theoretic method permitting one to find structure in a problem space (here, in a spatial navigation domain) and cluster it in ways that are convenient to solve different classes of control problems, which include planning a...

Stability of a class of fractional-order neural networks (FONNs) is analyzed in this paper. First, two sufficient conditions for convergence of the solution for such systems are obtained by utilizing Gronwall–Bellman lemma and Laplace transform techn...

In this paper, we use Boltzmann statistics and the maximum likelihood distribution derived from Bayes’ Theorem to infer parameter values for a Pake Doublet Spectrum, a lineshape of historical significance and contemporary relevance for determining di...

Steady-state two-phase flow in porous media is a process whereby a wetting phase displaces a non-wetting phase within a pore network. It is an off-equilibrium stationary process—in the sense that it is maintained in dynamic equilibrium at the expense...

Fractal Representation of Exergy

  • Yvain Canivet,
  • Diogo Queiros-Condé and
  • Lavinia Grosu

6 February 2016

We developed a geometrical model to represent the thermodynamic concepts of exergy and anergy. The model leads to multi-scale energy lines (correlons) that we characterised by fractal dimension and entropy analyses. A specific attention will be paid...
