Cover Story: What happens when information is processed by applying a function f to a variable S? The data processing inequality says that Shannon's mutual information always decreases. But what about other aspects of information, such as redundant information, unique information or synergistic information? This question has been discussed a lot in the field of information decompositions. We present a construction that enforces such a monotonicity property on an information measure. We show that the Blackwell property, which gives an operational meaning to unique information, is incompatible with monotonicity. View this paper

In this work, we investigate a three-user cognitive communication network where a primary two-user multiple access channel suffers interference from a secondary point-to-point channel, sharing the same medium. While the point-to-point channel transmi...

We present a stylized model of controlled equilibration of a small system in a fluctuating environment. We derive the optimal control equations steering in finite-time the system between two equilibrium states. The corresponding thermodynamic transit...

Dispersion of super-paramagnetic nanoparticles in nonmagnetic carrier fluids, known as ferrofluids, offers the advantages of tunable thermo-physical properties and eliminate the need for moving parts to induce flow. This study investigates ferrofluid...

Jüttner used the conventional theory of relativistic statistical mechanics to calculate the energy of a relativistic ideal gas in 1911. An alternative derivation of the energy of a relativistic ideal gas was published by Horwitz, Schieve and Piron in...

Recently, inspired by correntropy, kernel risk-sensitive loss (KRSL) has emerged as a novel nonlinear similarity measure defined in kernel space, which achieves a better computing performance. After applying the KRSL to adaptive filtering, the corres...
