Graph theory and entropy concepts are used to retrieve and quantify information in dD-sets of points. In this approach …–Leibler's entropy as pertaining to graph edge-length distributions. This relative entropy uses the edge-length distribution of graphs …

, two apparently opposed principles for the rate of entropy production have been used: the minimum entropy production rate … derived by Prigogine, used in the description of various processes in physics, chemistry and biology, and the maximum entropy … entropy production in an open system at the steady state under non-equilibrium conditions. In this paper, a link between these …

The extremum of entropy generation is evaluated for both maximum and minimum cases using a thermodynamic approach which … the entropy generation extremum theorem is proved by the engineering approach. It follows from the proof that the entropy … evaluated within the system. The Bernoulli equation is analyzed as an example in order to evaluate the internal and external …

The two notions of temporal and thermodynamic irreversibility are distinguished. It is shown that the irreversibility … concept of Arrow-Debreu, while establishing temporal irreversibility, does not encompass thermodynamic irreversibility. This … means, the standard irreversibility concept of production theory is too weak to be in full accordance with the laws of …
