Special Issue on Entropy and Its Application
Entropy
is a measure of the number of specific ways in which a system may be arranged,
often taken to be a measure of disorder, or a measure of progressing towards
thermodynamic equilibrium. The entropy of an isolated system never decreases,
because isolated systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic
equilibrium, which is the state of maximum entropy. There are two related
definitions of entropy: the thermodynamic definition and the statistical
mechanics definition. Historically, the classical thermodynamics definition
developed first, and it has more recently been extended in the area of
non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The
goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and
academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new
issues and developments in the area of entropy and its application.
In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles that explore entropy
and its application. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not
limited to:
-
Maximum
entropy; Entropy and Information
-
Symmetry
and entropy; Entropy in quantum gravity
-
Concepts
of entropy and their applications
-
Entropy
and the second law of thermodynamics
-
Transfer
entropy; Entanglement entropy
-
Information
entropy; Entropy function
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should
submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper
Submission System.
Please kindly specify the “Special
Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Entropy and Its Application” should be selected during your submission.
