The Production of Probabilistic Entropy

چکیده

Luhmann (1984) defined society as a communication system which is structurally coupled to, but not an aggregate of, human action systems. The communication system is then considered as self-organizing ("autopoietic"), as are human actors. Communication systems can be studied by using Shannon's (1948) mathematical theory of communication. The update of a network by action at one of the local nodes is then a well-known problem in artificial intelligence (Pearl 1988). By combining these various theories, a general algorithm for probabilistic structure/action contingency can be derived. The consequences of this contingency for each system, its consequences for their further histories, and the stabilization on each side by counterbalancing mechanisms are discussed, in both mathematical and theoretical terms. An empirical example is elaborated.

Optimization of Finned-Tube Heat Exchanger with Minimizing the Entropy Production rate

A compact fin-tube heat exchanger is used to transfer current fluid heat inside the tubes into the air outside. In this study, entropy production and optimized Reynolds number for finned-tube heat exchangers based on the minimum entropy production have been investigated. As a result, the total entropy of compact heat exchangers, which is the summation of the production rate of fluid entropy ins...

A fuzzy production model with probabilistic resalable returns

In this paper, a fuzzy production inventory model with resalable returns has been analysed in an imprecise and uncertain environment by considering the cost and revenue parameters as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The main objective is to determine the optimal fuzzy production lotsize which maximizes the expected profit where the products leftout at the end of the period are salvaged and demands wh...

(Measuring System Entropy Generation in a Complex Economic Network (The Case of Iran

An economic system is comprised of different primary flows that can be captured in macroeconomic models with complex network relations. Theoretically and empirically in this system, weak substitution or complementarity of environmental materials, like energy and other production factors such as capital, is undeniable. This is an effective critique on neoclassical economics. In this paper, we vi...

Optimizing of an Integrated Production-Distribution System with Probabilistic Parameters in a Multi-Level Supply Chain Network Considering the Backorder

One of the main arguments in the supply chain is integrated production-distribution planning. Integrated production and distribution of products in a supply chain plays an important role in reducing the costs of the chain. In this paper, a mathematical model for the integrated production-distribution problem in a three-level supply chain, including manufacturing plants, distribution centers and...
