We apply the stochastic thermodynamics formalism to describe the dynamics of systems of complex Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations. We provide in particular a simple and general recipe to calculate thermodynamical currents, dissipated and propagating he... see more

One type of fractal dimension definition is based on the generalized entropy function. Both entropy and fractal dimensions can be employed to characterize complex spatial systems such as cities and regions. Despite the inherent connection between entropy ... see more

As it is well known both atmospheric and mantle convection are very complex phenomena. The dynamical description of these processes is a very difficult task involving complicated 2-D or 3-D mathematical models. However, a first approximation to these phen... see more

In 1923, Hadamard encountered a class of integrals with strong singularities when using a particular Green’s function to solve the cylindrical wave equation. He ignored the infinite parts of such integrals after integrating by parts. Such an idea is... see more

As the complementary concept of intuitionistic fuzzy entropy, the knowledge measure of Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (AIFSs) has attracted more attention and is still an open topic. The amount of knowledge is important to evaluate intuitioni... see more

A new type of multi-baffle-type heat sink is proposed in this paper. The heat-transfer coefficient and pressure drop penalty of the employed six heat sink models are numerically investigated under five different inlet velocities. It is shown that Model 6 ... see more

The fundamental equations of various disciplines often seem to share the same basic structure. Natural selection increases information in the same way that Bayesian updating increases information. Thermodynamics and the forms of common probability distrib... see more

An image encryption algorithm is presented in this paper based on a chaotic map. Different from traditional methods based on the permutation-diffusion structure, the keystream here depends on both secret keys and the pre-processed image. In particular, in... see more

We derive the work cost of using generalized thermal baths from the physical equivalence of quantum mechanics under unitary transformations. We demonstrate our method by considering a qubit extracting work from a single bath to amplify a cavity field. The... see more
