Entropy, Duality, and Cross Diffusion

چکیده
This paper is devoted to the use of the entropy and duality methods for the existence theory of reaction-cross diffusion systems consisting of two equations, in any dimension of space. Those systems appear in population dynamics when the diffusion rates of individuals of two species depend on the concentration of individuals of the same species (self diffusion), or of the other species (cross diffusion).

Duality for maximum entropy diffusion MRI
We derive an entropy model for diffusion MRI and show that Fenchel duality techniques make this model tractable. This generalizes a model proposed by Daniel Alexander in 2005, in which the displacement of particles is confined to a sphere. In order to better suit the physics of the diffusion process, we propose to relax this constraint. The Kullback-Leibler relative entropy is used to measure t...
متن کاملQuadratic Cross Entropy of Uncertain Variables
Uncertainty theory is a branch of axiomatic mathematics based on normality, monotonicity, self-duality, countable subadditivity, and product measure axioms. In uncertainty theory this paper proposes a definition of quadratic cross entropy and the principle of minimum quadratic cross entropy. Based on the principle, an application in statistics and a numerical algorithm to estimate uncertain dis...
متن کاملExponential Convergence to Equilibrium for Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Systems Arising in Reversible Chemistry
We consider a prototypical nonlinear reaction-diffusion system arising in reversible chemistry. Based on recent existence results of global weak and classical solutions derived from entropy-decay related apriori estimates and duality methods, we prove exponential convergence of these solutions towards equilibrium with explicit rates in all space dimensions. The key step of the proof establishes...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Parabolic Cross-diffusion Population Model without Self-diffusion
The global existence of non-negative weak solutions to a strongly coupled parabolic system arising in population dynamics is shown. The cross-diffusion terms are allowed to be arbitrarily large, whereas the self-diffusion terms are assumed to vanish. The last assumption complicates the analysis since these terms usually provide H estimates of the solutions. The existence proof is based on a pos...
متن کاملDuality of Maximum Entropy and Minimum Divergence
We discuss a special class of generalized divergence measures by the use of generator functions. Any divergence measure in the class is separated into the difference between cross and diagonal entropy. The diagonal entropy measure in the class associates with a model of maximum entropy distributions; the divergence measure leads to statistical estimation via minimization, for arbitrarily giving...
