the polarimetric entropy and the alpha angle are two important parameters for analyzing polarimetric synthetic aperture radar data. they demonstrate the degree of randomness in the polarization of the received signal and scattering mechanism of scatterers respectively. recently, there has been an increasing interest in compact polarimetry due to its advantages in comparison with full polarimetr...

Introduction and Aims: Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder and a type of dementia. 80% of dementia in older adults is because of Alzheimer’s disease. According to multiple research articles, Alzheimer's has several changes in EEG signals such as slowing of rhythms, reduction in complexity and reduction in functional associations, and disordered functional commun...

wear is a complicated phenomenon caused by the relative movement of two contacting surfaces compressed together by a normal force. prediction of the wear, in most cases, requires various experiments and microstructural characterization of the contacting surfaces. mathematical models based on physical concepts could provide considerable help in understanding the physical behavior and hence the p...

In this paper an approximation for entropy rate of an ergodic Markov chain via sample path simulation is calculated. Although there is an explicit form of the entropy rate here, the exact computational method is laborious to apply. It is demonstrated that the estimated entropy rate of Markov chain via sample path not only converges to the correct entropy rate but also does it exponential...

The combined effects of magnetic field, Navier slip and convective heating on the entropy generation in a flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two infinite horizontal parallel plates under a constant pressure gradient have been examined. Both the lower and upper plates of the channel are subjected to asymmetric convective heat exchange with the ambient fluid. T...

We study the entropy rate of a hidden Markov process, defined by observing the output of a symmetric channel whose input is a first order Markov process. Although this definition is very simple, obtaining the exact amount of entropy rate in calculation is an open problem. We introduce some probability matrices based on Markov chain's and channel's parameters. Then, we try to obtain an estimate ...

 In this paper we study the relative entropy rate between a homogeneous Markov chain and a hidden Markov chain defined by observing the output of a discrete stochastic channel whose input is the finite state space homogeneous stationary Markov chain. For this purpose, we obtain the relative entropy between two finite subsequences of above mentioned chains with the help of the definition of...
