ECEA-4 2017 2018 - 24 articles

The 4th International Electronic Conference on Entropy and Its Applications

Online | 21 November-1 December 2017

Issue Editors: Philip Broadbridge, La Trobe University Melbourne, Australia

Cover Story: This issue presents papers contributed to the 4th E-Conference on Entropy (ECEA-4), held in November 2017. One highly positive aspect of the E-Conference was the vigorous discussion, feedback, mutual learning and debate that took place on the conference bulletin board. This issue of Proceedings offers the participants a forum for disseminating their ideas in a more polished form. Entropy lies at the heart of modern applied science, as well as fundamental science foundations that are regularly re-examined.
Although we do not expect to necessarily contribute a major breakthrough, some of the ideas presented here should at least stimulate us to review our own conceptions and to promote a network of discussion on how to take practical steps toward these breakthroughs. I am grateful to all contributors.

Beyond the Arrow of Time: Can There Be a Relation between the Measurement of Entropy and Time?

Ben Akih-Kumgeh

Proceedings2018, 2(4), 167;https://doi.org/10.3390/ecea-4-05018

The general tendency of the entropy of an isolated to increase is considered to be directly linked to the direction of the flow of time. This raises the question whether a quantitative relation can be established such that a time interval can be meas...

Modified entropies have been extensively considered by several authors in articles published almost anywhere. Among the most well known are the Rényi entropy and the Havdra-Charvtá and Tsallis entropy. All these depend on one or several parameters. B...

A Lower Bound on Work Extraction Probability Prescribed by Nonequilibrium Work Relation

Takuya Yamano

Proceedings2018, 2(4), 162;https://doi.org/10.3390/ecea-4-05015

20 November 2017

In nonequilibrium processes, work extraction from a system is subject to random fluctuations associated with the statistical distribution prescribed by its environment. The probability of extracting work above a given arbitrary threshold can be a mea...

Exponential or Power Law? How to Select a Stable Distribution of Probability in a Physical System

Andrea Di Vita

Proceedings2018, 2(4), 156;https://doi.org/10.3390/ecea-4-05009

20 November 2017

A mapping of non-extensive statistical mechanics with non-additivity parameter q ≠ 1 into Gibbs’ statistical mechanics exists (E. Vives, A. Planes, PRL 88 2, 020601 (2002)) which allows generalization to q ≠ 1 both of Einstein’s formu...
