Analytical computation of frequency distributions of path-dependent processes by means of a non-multinomial maximum entropy approach
@article{Hanel2015AnalyticalCO, title={Analytical computation of frequency distributions of path-dependent processes by means of a non-multinomial maximum entropy approach}, author={Rudolf Hanel and Bernat Corominas-Murtra and Stefan Thurner}, journal={ArXiv}, year={2015}, volume={abs/1511.00414} }
Path-dependent stochastic processes are often non-ergodic and observables can no longer be computed within the ensemble picture. The resulting mathematical difficulties pose severe limits to the analytical understanding of path-dependent processes. Their statistics is typically non-multinomial in the sense that the multiplicities of the occurrence of states is not a multinomial factor. The maximum entropy principle is tightly related to multinomial processes, non-interacting systems, and to the…

It is demonstrated that for a sufficiently well behaved class of complex processes, it is possible to derive an exact criterion for deciding whether a sequence of arbitrary length is well formed or not.
Maximum Configuration Principle for Driven Systems with Arbitrary Driving
- Computer ScienceEntropy
- 2018
The maximum configuration entropy (that predicts empirical distribution functions) in the context of driven dissipative systems is developed and the corresponding framework and entropy functional that describes the distribution of observable states as a function of the details of the driving process are developed.
Extreme robustness of scaling in sample space reducing processes explains Zipf's law in diffusion on directed networks
- Physics
- 2016
The result that Zipf's law emerges as a generic feature of diffusion on networks, regardless of its details, and that the exponent of visiting times is related to the amount of cycles in a network could be relevant for a series of applications in traffic-, transport- and supply chain management.

How multiplicity determines entropy and the derivation of the maximum entropy principle for complex systems

This paper proves that a MEP indeed exists for complex systems and derive the generalized entropy, and finds that it belongs to the class of the recently proposed (c,d)-entropies, and shows that path-dependent random processes with memory naturally require specific generalized entropies.

When do generalized entropies apply? How phase space volume determines entropy
- Computer Science

It is shown that a wide class of systems with "surface-dominant" statistics might in fact require generalized entropies, including self-organized critical systems such as sandpiles, anomalous diffusion, and systems with topological defects such as vortices, domains, or instantons.

- BiologyScientific reports

A simple mathematical model is proposed that mimics the process of exploring a physical, biological, or conceptual space that enlarges whenever a novelty occurs and predicts statistical laws for the rate at which novelties happen and for the probability distribution on the space explored.
