Let ent denote topological entropy, and let $C'r(S^1, S^1)$ denote the space of continuous functions of the circle to itself having $r$ continuous derivatives with ...

Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world ...

According to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time. Everything ...

To many physicists, “Tsallis entropy” has been a revolution in statistical mechanics. To others, it is merely a useful fitting technique. Jon Cartwright tries to make sense of this world of disorder. ...

Entropy Minimization is a new clustering algorithm that works with both categorical and numeric data, and scales well to extremely large data sets. Data clustering is the process of placing data items ...
