Special Issue on Entropy and Its Application
Entropy means the degree of disorder of the system. The entropy concept was
initially derived from thermodynamics and is credited to the work of Rudolf
Clausius. In the past 150 years, entropy has developed from the isolated system
of thermodynamics to an open system, from the equilibrium state to the
nonequilibrium state, from linear to nonlinear. With the penetration and
comprehensive development of various disciplines, the concept of entropy has
been far beyond the scope of physics, and extends from a narrow sense to a
generalized entropy. It has important applications in cybernetics, probability theory, number
theory, astrophysics, life science and other fields. In all these applications, one is faced with problems related to the level
of description of the system or coarse graining, which interestingly influence
the final results.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line
researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on
exploring entropy and its application.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Maximum entropy theory
-
Equilibrium
& non-equlibrium statistical physics
-
Information
theory: entropy and mutual information
-
Negative

-
Quantum

-

-

-

-
Application of
entropy (Cybernetics, Life science, Medicine and pharmacy, Sociology,
etc.)
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective
authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through
the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field
“Special Issue – Entropy and Its
Application” should be chosen during your submission.
