Ternary Representation of Stochastic Change and the Origin of Entropy and Its Fluctuations
Hong Qian, Yu-Chen Cheng, Lowell F. Thompson
A change in a stochastic system has three representations: Probabilistic, statistical, and informational: (i) is based on random variable ; this induces (ii) t…

Representations and Divergences in the Space of Probability Measures and Stochastic Thermodynamics
Liu Hong, Hong Qian, Lowell F. Thompson
Radon-Nikodym (RN) derivative between two measures arises naturally in the affine structure of the space of probability measures with densities. Entropy, free energy, relative entr…

Nonlinear Stochastic Dynamics of Complex Systems, II: Potential of Entropic Force in Markov Systems with Nonequilibrium Steady State, Generalized Gibbs Function and Criticality
Lowell F. Thompson, Hong Qian
In this paper we revisit the notion of the "minus logarithm of stationary probability" as a generalized potential in nonequilibrium systems and attempt to illustrate its central ro…
