We study the convergence to equilibrium of a class of nonlinear recombination models. In analogy with Boltzmann's H-theorem from kinetic theory, and in contrast with previous analysis of these models, ...

For a technical scientific term, entropy is pretty popular. I mean, it was the title of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, after all. Search the Internet for “entropy” quotes and you’ll find them ...
