Maximum entropy production, cloud feedback, and climate change
[1] A steady-state energy-balance climate model based on a global constraint of maximum entropy production is used to examine cloud feedback and the response of surface temperature T to doubled atmospheric CO2. The constraint ensures that change in zonal cloud amount q necessarily involves change in the convergence KX of meridional energy flow. Without other feedbacks, the changes in q, KX and ...
متن کاملA discussion on maximum entropy production and information theory
We will discuss the maximum entropy production (MaxEP) principle based on Jaynes’ information theoretical arguments, as was done by Dewar (2003, 2005). With the help of a simple mathematical model of a non-equilibrium system, we will show how to derive minimum and maximum entropy production. Furthermore, the model will help us to clarify some confusing points and to see differences between some...
متن کاملFrom Maximum Entropy to Maximum Entropy Production: A New Approach
Evidence from climate science suggests that a principle of maximum thermodynamic entropy production can be used to make predictions about some physical systems. I discuss the general form of this principle and an inherent problem with it, currently unsolved by theoretical approaches: how to determine which system it should be applied to. I suggest a new way to derive the principle from statisti...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy and Learning Theory
We derive the learning theory recently reported by Tishby, Levin, and Solla (TLS) without statistical mechanics. We show that the theory generally applies to any problem of modeling data. We analyze an elementary example for which we find the predictions consistent with intuition and conventional statistical results. We numerically examine the more realistic problem of training a competitive ne...
