Inference with minimal Gibbs free energy in information field theory
Non-linear and non-gaussian signal inference problems are difficult to tackle. Renormalization techniques permit us to construct good estimators for the posterior signal mean within information field theory (IFT), but the approximations and assumptions made are not very obvious. Here we introduce the simple concept of minimal Gibbs free energy to IFT, and show that previous renormalization resu...
متن کاملComment on "Inference with minimal Gibbs free energy in information field theory".
Enßlin and Weig [Phys. Rev. E 82, 051112 (2010)] have introduced a "minimum Gibbs free energy" (MGFE) approach for estimation of the mean signal and signal uncertainty in Bayesian inference problems: it aims to combine the maximum a posteriori (MAP) and maximum entropy (ME) principles. We point out, however, that there are some important questions to be clarified before the new approach can be ...
متن کاملComment on "Minimal energy cost for thermodynamic information processing: measurement and information erasure".
The fundamental lower bounds on the thermodynamic energy cost of measurement and information erasure are determined. The lower bound on the erasure validates Landauer's principle for a symmetric memory; for other cases, the bound indicates the breakdown of the principle. Our results constitute the second law of "information thermodynamics," in which information content and thermodynamic variabl...
متن کاملGibbs Free Energy Formula for Protein Folding
Proteins are life’s working horses and nature’s robots. They participate in every life process. They form supporting structures of cell, fibre, tissue, and organs; they are catalysts, speed up various life critical chemical reactions; they transfer signals so that we can see, hear, and smell; they protect us against intruders such as bacteria and virus; they regulate life cycles to keep that ev...
متن کاملProtein Folding: The Gibbs Free Energy
The fundamental law for protein folding is the Thermodynamic Principle: the amino acid sequence of a protein determines its native structure and the native structure has the minimum Gibbs free energy. If all chemical problems can be answered by quantum mechanics, there should be a quantum mechanics derivation of Gibbs free energy formula G(X) for every possible conformation X of the protein. We...
