Entropy Production and Irreversible Processes -from the perspective of continuous topological evolution

نویسنده

  • Robert M. Kiehn
چکیده

A concept of entropy production associated with continuous topolog-ical evolution is deduced (without statistics) from the fact that Cartan-Hilbert 1-form of Action defines a non-equilibrium symplectic system of Pfaff Topological dimension 2n+2. The differential entropy, dS, is composed of the interior product of the non-canonical components of momentum with the components of the differential velocities. An irreversible process can describe entropy production in terms of continuous topological evolution to non-equilibrium but stationary states. An equilibrium system can be defined topologically as a Lagrange sub-manifold of the 2n+2 topological space, upon which the change in entropy by continuous topological evolution is zero, dS {equil} =0. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—

Entropy operator for continuous dynamical systems of finite topological entropy

In this paper we introduce the concept of entropy operator for continuous systems of finite topological entropy. It is shown that it generates the Kolmogorov entropy as a special case. If $phi$ is invertible then the entropy operator is bounded with the topological entropy of $phi$ as its norm.

Entropy Estimate for Maps on Forests

A 1993 result of J. Llibre, and M. Misiurewicz, (Theorem A [5]), states that if a continuous map f of a graph into itself has an s-horseshoe, then the topological entropy of f is greater than or equal to logs, that is h( f ) ? logs. Also a 1980 result of L.S. Block, J. Guckenheimer, M. Misiurewicz and L.S. Young (Lemma 1.5 [3]) states that if G is an A-graph of f then h(G) ? h( f ). In this pap...

Homomorphisms on Topological Groups from the Perspective of Bourbaki-boundedness

In this note we study some topological properties of bounded sets and Bourbaki-bounded sets. Also we introduce two types of Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms on topological groups  including, n$-$Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms and$hspace{1mm}$ B$-$Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms. We compare them to each other and with the class of continuous homomorphisms. So, two topologies are presented on them a...

The Relevance of Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Maximum Information Entropy Principle in Biology

We start this talk posing the question, is there any physical principle that can serve as a selection principle in biology too? One of the first undertakings in this direction, conducted by Prigogine and Wiame [1] noticed correctly that biological processes are irreversible and as such should be described within irreversible thermodynamics. Since irreversible processes are characterized by entr...
