Talk:Maximum entropy thermodynamics
Appearance
From stub to article
To do:
- technical note that strictly the entropy should be relative to a prior measure. -> Principle of minimum cross-entropy (Kullback-Leibler distance). In thermodynamics we usually assume the "principle of equal a-priori probability" over phase space, so the two are then equivalent.
- section on philosophical implications regarding the conceptual problems of statistical mechanics, second law, etc.
- (?) some more algebra, and a simple nonequilibrium example (eg Brownian motion?)
