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 ...

Information theory provides a mathematical framework for quantifying information and uncertainty, forming the backbone of modern communication, signal processing, and data analysis. Central to this ...

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 ...

Conservation Ecology, Vol. 7, No. 3 (Dec 2003) (16 pages) ABSTRACT. Infodynamics, for our purposes, is a developmental perspective that animates information theory by way of thermodynamics. The ...

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 ...

As physicists extend the 19th-century laws of thermodynamics to the quantum realm, they’re rewriting the relationships among energy, entropy and information. In his 1824 book, Reflections on the ...

Many philosophers and scientists have pondered if we live in a simulated universe, and University of Portsmouth scientist Melvin Vopson believes he has evidence. Using his previously formulated Second ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the laws governing the very small with those that describe the vast cosmos. Quantum mechanics rules subatomic particles, while general relativity ...
