Abelian groups of zero adjoint entropy

L. Salce, P. Zanardo (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

The notion of adjoint entropy for endomorphisms of an Abelian group is somehow dual to that of algebraic entropy. The Abelian groups of zero adjoint entropy, i.e. ones whose endomorphisms all have zero adjoint entropy, are investigated. Torsion groups and cotorsion groups satisfying this condition are characterized. It is shown that many classes of torsionfree groups contain groups of either zero or infinite adjoint entropy. In particular, no characterization of torsionfree groups of...

Algebraic entropies, Hopficity and co-Hopficity of direct sums of Abelian Groups

Brendan Goldsmith, Ketao Gong (2015)

Topological Algebra and its Applications

Similarity:

Necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that the direct sum of two Abelian groups with zero entropy is again of zero entropy are still unknown; interestingly the same problem is also unresolved for direct sums of Hopfian and co-Hopfian groups.We obtain sufficient conditions in some situations by placing restrictions on the homomorphisms between the groups. There are clear similarities between the various cases but there is not a simple duality involved.

Bounds on guessing numbers and secret sharing combining information theory methods

Emirhan Gürpınar (2024)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This paper is on developing some computer-assisted proof methods involving non-classical inequalities for Shannon entropy. Two areas of the applications of information inequalities are studied: Secret sharing schemes and hat guessing games. In the former a random secret value is transformed into shares distributed among several participants in such a way that only the qualified groups of participants can recover the secret value. In the latter each participant is assigned a hat colour...

The entropy of algebraic actions of countable torsion-free abelian groups

Richard Miles (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the entropy of an action of a countable torsion-free abelian group G by continuous automorphisms of a compact abelian group X. A formula is obtained that expresses the entropy in terms of the Mahler measure of a greatest common divisor, complementing earlier work by Einsiedler, Lind, Schmidt and Ward. This leads to a uniform method for calculating entropy whenever G is free. In cases where these methods do not apply, a possible entropy formula is conjectured....

The use of information and information gain in the analysis of attribute dependencies

Krzysztof Moliński, Anita Dobek, Kamila Tomaszyk (2012)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

This paper demonstrates the possible conclusions which can be drawn from an analysis of entropy and information. Because of its universality, entropy can be widely used in different subjects, especially in biomedicine. Based on simulated data the similarities and differences between the grouping of attributes and testing of their independencies are shown. It follows that a complete exploration of data sets requires both of these elements. A new concept introduced in this paper is that...

Local correlation and entropy maps as tools for detecting defects in industrial images

Ewa Skubalska-Rafajłowicz (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to propose two methods of detecting defects in industrial products by an analysis of gray level images with low contrast between the defects and their background. An additional difficulty is the high nonuniformity of the background in different parts of the same image. The first method is based on correlating subimages with a nondefective reference subimage and searching for pixels with low correlation. To speed up calculations, correlations are replaced by a...

A new approach to mutual information

Fumio Hiai, Dénes Petz (2007)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

A new expression as a certain asymptotic limit via "discrete micro-states" of permutations is provided for the mutual information of both continuous and discrete random variables.

A note on the interval-valued marginal problem and its maximum entropy solution

Jiřina Vejnarová (1998)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This contribution introduces the marginal problem, where marginals are not given precisely, but belong to some convex sets given by systems of intervals. Conditions, under which the maximum entropy solution of this problem can be obtained via classical methods using maximum entropy representatives of these convex sets, are presented. Two counterexamples illustrate the fact, that this property is not generally satisfied. Some ideas of an alternative approach are presented at the end of...
