In this paper we calculate leading order correction due to small statistical fluctuations around equilibrium, to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for the Achucarro-Oritz black hole, which is the most general two-dimensional black hole derived from the three-dimensional rotating Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole. Then we obtain the same correction to the Cardy-Verlinde entropy formula ...

In this paper we discuss the question of whether the entropy of cosmological horizon in some asymptotically de Sitter spaces can be described by the Cardy-Verlinde formula, which is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any dimension. For the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution, although the gravitational mass is always negative (in the sense of the prescription in hep-th/...

§0 Introduction. In a recent paper of Perelman[P1], an entropy formula for Ricci flow was derived. The formula turns out being of fundamental importance in the study of Ricci flow (cf. [P1, Sections 3, 4, 10]) as well as the Kähler-Ricci flow [P2]. The derivation of the entropy formula in [P1, Section 9] resembles the gradient estimate for the linear heat equation proved by Li-Yau in another fu...

In this paper, we analyze a dual characterization of life distributions that is based on entropy applied to the past lifetime. Various aspects of this measure of uncertainty are considered, including its connection with the residual entropy. Results on the past entropy is obtained by using the reversed hazard function of X, which is receiving increasing attention in reliability theory and survi...

We have proposed the entropy formula of the black hole which is constructed by two intersecting D-branes with no momentum, whose compactification radii are constrained by the surface gravities in ten-dimensions. We interpret the entropy of the black hole as the statistical entropy of the effective string. We further study the behavior of the absorption cross-section of the black hole using our ...

this study proposed a new discharge estimation method using a mean velocity formula derived from chiu’s 2d velocity formula of probabilistic entropy concept and the river bed shear stress of channel. in particular, we could calculate the mean velocity, which is hardly measurable in flooding natural rivers, in consideration of several factors reflecting basic hydraulic characteristics such as r...
