Quantifying Disorder through Conditional Entropy: An Application to Fluid Mixing
In this paper, we present a method to quantify the extent of disorder in a system by using conditional entropies. Our approach is especially useful when other global, or mean field, measures of disorder fail. The method is equally suited for both continuum and lattice models, and it can be made rigorous for the latter. We apply it to mixing and demixing in multicomponent fluid membranes, and sh...
متن کاملShannon entropy: axiomatic characterization and application
We have presented a new axiomatic derivation of Shannon entropy for a discrete probability distribution on the basis of the postulates of additivity and concavity of the entropy function. We have then modified Shannon entropy to take account of observational uncertainty.The modified entropy reduces, in the limiting case, to the form of Shannon differential entropy. As an application, we have de...
متن کاملQuantifying aerosol mixing state with entropy and diversity measures
This paper presents the first quantitative metric for aerosol population mixing state, defined as the distribution of per-particle chemical species composition. This new metric, the mixing state index χ , is an affine ratio of the average per-particle species diversity Dα and the bulk population species diversity Dγ , both of which are based on information-theoretic entropy measures. The mixing...
متن کاملOn the Estimation of Shannon Entropy
Shannon entropy is increasingly used in many applications. In this article, an estimator of the entropy of a continuous random variable is proposed. Consistency and scale invariance of variance and mean squared error of the proposed estimator is proved and then comparisons are made with Vasicek's (1976), van Es (1992), Ebrahimi et al. (1994) and Correa (1995) entropy estimators. A simulation st...
متن کاملApplication of Shannon Wavelet Entropy and Shannon Wavelet Packet Entropy in Analysis of Power System Transient Signals
Abstract: In a power system, the analysis of transient signals is the theoretical basis of fault diagnosis and transient protection theory. Shannon wavelet entropy (SWE) and Shannon wavelet packet entropy (SWPE) are powerful mathematics tools for transient signal analysis. Combined with the recent achievements regarding SWE and SWPE, their applications are summarized in feature extraction of tr...
