This paper describes a group-theoretic method for decomposing the entropy of a finite ensemble when symmetry considerations are of interest. The cases in which the elements in the ensemble are indexed by {1,2,...,n} and by the permutations of a finit...
Entropy has been launched in 1999 by Dr. Shu-Kun Lin, and it is now in its eight year.[...]
We consider the problem of inference on one of the two parameters of a probability distribution when we have some prior information on a nuisance parameter. When a prior probability distribution on this nuisance parameter is given, the marginal distr...
On the basis of the classical axioms of non relativistic quantum mechanics, we develop a model for the interplay between energy and entropy in the process of quantum measurement and shed light on the scope of some of the axioms with regard to the mea...
The present paper is concerned with an analytical study of entropy generation in viscous, incompressible Couette flow between a stationary plate and a moving plate. The flow induced by the moving plate is assisted by a constant pressure gradient alon...
In a series of papers [1,2,3], Lawrence Schulman presented examples which demonstrate the compatibility of opposite arrows of time in various situations. In a previous letter to this journal [4] I questioned some of them for not being realistic in sp...
