non-ergodic process
11Markov chain — A simple two state Markov chain. A Markov chain, named for Andrey Markov, is a mathematical system that undergoes transitions from one state to another, between a finite or countable number of possible states. It is a random process characterized …
12Alexandra Bellow — (1935 ndash;) is a mathematician who has made substantial contributions to the fields of ergodic theory, probability and analysis. BiographyShe was born in Bucharest, Romania, as Alexandra Bagdasar. Her parents were both physicians. Her mother,… …
13John von Neumann — Von Neumann redirects here. For other uses, see Von Neumann (disambiguation). The native form of this personal name is Neumann János. This article uses the Western name order. John von Neumann …
14Mixing (mathematics) — In mathematics, mixing is an abstract concept originating from physics: the attempt to describe the irreversible thermodynamic process of mixing in the everyday world: mixing paint, mixing drinks, etc. The concept appears in ergodic theory the… …
15Entropy (arrow of time) — Entropy is the only quantity in the physical sciences that picks a particular direction for time, sometimes called an arrow of time. As one goes forward in time, the second law of thermodynamics says that the entropy of an isolated system can… …
16Dynamical system — This article is about the general aspects of dynamical systems. For technical details, see Dynamical system (definition). For the study, see Dynamical systems theory. Dynamical redirects here. For other uses, see Dynamics (disambiguation). The… …
17Molecular dynamics — (MD) is a computer simulation of physical movements of atoms and molecules. The atoms and molecules are allowed to interact for a period of time, giving a view of the motion of the atoms. In the most common version, the trajectories of molecules… …
18Genetic algorithm — A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural evolution. This heuristic is routinely used to generate useful solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms belong to the larger class of… …
19Chaos theory — This article is about chaos theory in Mathematics. For other uses of Chaos theory, see Chaos Theory (disambiguation). For other uses of Chaos, see Chaos (disambiguation). A plot of the Lorenz attractor for values r = 28, σ = 10, b = 8/3 …
20Fluctuation theorem — The fluctuation theorem (FT) is a theorem from statistical mechanics dealing with the relative probability that the entropy of a system which is currently away from thermodynamic equilibrium (maximum entropy) will increase or decrease over a… …
