Science popularization has its legends and heroes, just like any other field, though I’ve heard no plans as yet to open a Hall of Fame. Should that day come, one of the first inductees would ...

Taiwanese Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 25, No. 3 (June 2021), pp. 579-598 (20 pages) In this paper, we provide an effective method to compute the topological entropies of G-subshifts of finite type (G ...

Behind the veil: A black hole's event horizon contains an infinite number of microstates, but expressing these microstates in terms of a finite set of representative quantum superpositions makes it ...

In manpower planning, it is essential to be able to monitor stability of the length-of-service structure of the staff. Such a stability index is provided by the formula for entropy of a continuous ...
