Anton Arnold (joint work with Jan Erb) Entropy method for hypocoercive & non-symmetric Fokker-Planck equations with linear drift In the last 15 years the entropy method has become a powerful tool for analyzing the large-time behavior of the Cauchy problem for linear and non-linear Fokker-Planck type equations (advectiondiffusion equations, kinetic Fokker-Planck equation of plasma physics, e.g.)...

Two recent studies, by Molet et al. (2016) and Davis et al. (in press) with rats and humans, support the hypothesis that the predictability of maternal signals influences cognitive and emotional development. Both studies use a measure of entropy rate to characterize predictability of maternal sensory signals. This document describes the common cross-species approach in which maternal sensory si...

In the 21th century, renewable energy has to play very important role in socio-economic and industrial development. This paper evaluates exergy- analysis, which is based on second law of thermodynamics. The triangular solar heater developed determine heat transfer rate, thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency Bejan number. addition, we have examined effects entropy generation with respect radiati...

Analysis of entropy generation rate for transient heat conduction, taking place in homogeneous solid slab with fixed temperature boundary conditions, is presented. The initial condition is defined as a constant temperature. The exact solution is solved and used to analyze the local and total entropy generation rates. Two cases, heating and cooling processes, are considered in this study. It is ...

Abstract We study the multiplicative version of classical Furstenberg’s filtering problem, where instead sum $$\textbf{X}+\textbf{Y}$$ X+Y one considers product $$\textbf{X}\cdot \textbf{Y}$$ xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">...
