Entropy Minimization with Lattice Bounds

Contrast Enhancement with Entropy Minimization Technique

Almost every branch of medical imaging uses the concept of digital image processing for visualizing and extracting details from the data images. Thus, quality enhancement has become more important to be performed with the help of various techniques. The enhancement of an image is one of the most acceptable methods to get the deeper knowledge of any image. There are various contrast enhancement ...

Minimization of entropy functionals

Entropy functionals (i.e. convex integral functionals) and extensions of these functionals are minimized on convex sets. This paper is aimed at reducing as much as possible the assumptions on the constraint set. Dual equalities and characterizations of the minimizers are obtained with weak constraint qualifications.

Extensive Entropy Bounds

It is shown that, for systems in which the entropy is an extensive function of the energy and volume, the Bekenstein and the holographic entropy bounds predict new results. More explicitly, the Bekenstein entropy bound leads to the entropy of thermal radiation (the Unruh-Wald bound) and the spherical entropy bound implies the “causal entropy bound”. Surprisingly, the first bound shows a close r...

Properties of cross-entropy minimization

Simulated Entropy and Global Minimization

ABSTRACT: Non-linear programming deals with the problem of optimizing an objective function in the presence of equality and inequality constraints. Most of the classical deterministic methods encounter two major problems: (i) the solution obtained is heavily dependent on the starting solution: and (ii) the methods often converge to inferior local optima. This paper examines the relationship bet...
