Entropy estimation and information theory form the bedrock of our understanding of uncertainty and complexity in both natural and engineered systems. At its core, entropy quantifies the ...

The identities or bounds that relate information measures (e.g., the entropy and mutual information) and estimation measures (e.g., the minimum means square error ...

A challenge in materials design is that in both natural and humanmade materials, volume sometimes decreases, or increases, with increasing temperature. While there are mechanical explanations for this ...

Entropy in an expanding universe / Steven Frautschi -- Growth of order in the universe / David Layzer -- Parity violation and the origin of biomolecular chirality / Dilip Kondepudi -- Kinetic theory ...

It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, to put it more ...
