The goal of Science is to understand phenomena and systems in order to predict their development and gain control over them. In the scientific process of knowledge elaboration, a crucial role is played by models which, in the language of quantitative scie... see more

This paper proposes a distributed joint source-channel coding (DJSCC) scheme using polar-like codes. In the proposed scheme, each distributed source encodes source message with a quasi-uniform systematic polar code (QSPC) or a punctured QSPC, and only tra... see more

By introducing net entropy into a stock network, this paper focuses on investigating the impact of network entropy on market returns and trading in the Chinese Growth Enterprise Market (GEM). In this paper, indices of Wu structure entropy (WSE) and SD str... see more

When a developing country reaches a relatively average income level, it often stops growing further and its income does not improve. This is known as the middle-income trap. How to overcome this trap is a longstanding problem for developing countries, and... see more

In this work, we consider extended irreversible thermodynamics in assuming that the entropy density is a function of both common thermodynamic variables and their higher-order time derivatives. An expression for entropy production, and the linear phenomen... see more

To enhance the encryption proficiency and encourage the protected transmission of multiple images, the current work introduces an encryption algorithm for multiple images using the combination of mixed image elements (MIES) and a two-dimensional economic ... see more

Algorithmic information theory in conjunction with Landauer’s principle can quantify the cost of maintaining a reversible real-world computational system distant from equilibrium. As computational bits are conserved in an isolated reversible system,... see more

The concept of a “system” is foundational to physics, but the question of how observers identify systems is seldom addressed. Classical thermodynamics restricts observers to finite, finite-resolution observations with which to identify the sys... see more

Self-organisation lies at the core of fundamental but still unresolved scientific questions, and holds the promise of de-centralised paradigms crucial for future technological developments. While self-organising processes have been traditionally explained... see more

The notions of systemic importance and systemic risk of financial institutions are closely related to the topology of financial liability networks. In this work, we reconstruct and analyze the financial liability network of an entire economy using data of... see more

In order to teach heat transfer systematically and with a clear physical background, it is recommended that entropy should not be ignored as a fundamental quantity. Heat transfer processes are characterized by introducing the so-called “entropic pot... see more

In this study, we consider a method for investigating the stochastic response of a nonlinear dynamical system affected by a random seismic process. We present the solution of the probability density of a single/multiple-degree of freedom (SDOF/MDOF) syste... see more

Out-of-equilibrium systems exhibit complex spatiotemporal behaviors when they present a secondary bifurcation to an oscillatory instability. Here, we investigate the complex dynamics shown by a pulsing regime in an extended, one-dimensional semiconductor ... see more

The information entropy developed by Shannon is an effective measure of uncertainty in data, and the rough set theory is a useful tool of computer applications to deal with vagueness and uncertainty data circumstances. At present, the information entropy ... see more

In this paper, we propose a methodology to solve the stereo matching problem through quantum annealing optimization. Our proposal takes advantage of the existing Min-Cut/Max-Flow network formulation of computer vision problems. Based on this network formu... see more

In this paper, we analyse the bipartite Colombian firms-products network, throughout a period of five years, from 2010 to 2014. Our analysis depicts a strongly modular system, with several groups of firms specializing in the export of specific categories ... see more

We study entropy inequalities for variables that are related by functional dependencies. Although the powerset on four variables is the smallest Boolean lattice with non-Shannon inequalities, there exist lattices with many more variables where the Shannon... see more

The paper focuses on the opportunity of the application of the quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm for determining minimal costs of the assignment in the quadratic assignment problem. The idea behind the paper is to present how the algorithm has to be... see more

For historic reasons, industrial knowledge of reproducibility and restrictions imposed by regulations, open-loop feeding control approaches dominate in industrial fed-batch cultivation processes. In this study, a generic gray box biomass modeling procedur... see more
