A deep connection between the Vapnik-Chervonenkis entropy and the Rademacher complexity
Abstract:
In this paper, we derive a deep connection between the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) entropy and the Rademacher complexity. For this purpose, we first refine some previously known relationships between the two notions of complexity and then derive new results, which allow computing an admissible range for the Rademacher complexity, given a value of the VC-entropy, and vice versa. The approach adopted in this paper is new and relies on the careful analysis of the combinatorial nature of the problem. The obtained results improve the state of the art on this research topic.

Entropy
When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...
Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...

The statement can be further generalized to prove that entropy is a state function. Take a cyclic process between any two points on a p-V diagram.
