  2. Entropy (information theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)

    The first 128 symbols of the Fibonacci sequence has an entropy of approximately 7 bits/symbol, but the sequence can be expressed using a formula [F(n) = F(n−1) + F(n−2) for n = 3, 4, 5, ..., F(1) =1, F(2) = 1] and this formula has a much lower entropy and applies to any length of the Fibonacci sequence.

  3. Landauer's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer's_principle

    Landauer's principle is a physical principle pertaining to a lower theoretical limit of energy consumption of computation.It holds that an irreversible change in information stored in a computer, such as merging two computational paths, dissipates a minimum amount of heat to its surroundings. [1]

  4. Entropy in thermodynamics and information theory - Wikipedia

    Despite the foregoing, there is a difference between the two quantities. The information entropy Η can be calculated for any probability distribution (if the "message" is taken to be that the event i which had probability p i occurred, out of the space of the events possible), while the thermodynamic entropy S refers to thermodynamic probabilities p i specifically.

  5. Cross-entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-entropy

    [9] [10] Assuming a simple ensemble of classifiers is assembled via averaging the outputs, then the amended cross-entropy is given by = (,) (,) where is the cost function of the classifier, is the output probability of the classifier, is the true probability to be estimated, and is a parameter between 0 and 1 that defines the 'diversity' that ...

  6. Void coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_coefficient

    A positive void coefficient means that the reactivity increases as the void content inside the reactor increases due to increased boiling or loss of coolant; for example, if the coolant acts predominantly as neutron absorber. This positive void coefficient causes a positive feedback loop, starting with the first occurrence of steam bubbles ...

  7. Entropy (order and disorder) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(order_and_disorder)

    The relationship between entropy, order, and disorder in the Boltzmann equation is so clear among physicists that according to the views of thermodynamic ecologists Sven Jorgensen and Yuri Svirezhev, "it is obvious that entropy is a measure of order or, most likely, disorder in the system."

  9. Sackur–Tetrode equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sackur–Tetrode_equation

    The Sackur–Tetrode equation is an expression for the entropy of a monatomic ideal gas. [ 1 ] It is named for Hugo Martin Tetrode [ 2 ] (1895–1931) and Otto Sackur [ 3 ] (1880–1914), who developed it independently as a solution of Boltzmann's gas statistics and entropy equations, at about the same time in 1912.
