Reynolds Transport Theorem
Entropy Change in Reversible Processes
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.
Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
Routh-Hurwitz Criterion I

This study introduces q-algebra deformed entropy for optimal transport, achieving sparse solutions unlike standard methods. Sparsity increases as the deformation parameter q approaches zero, balancing interpretability with computational efficiency.
Area of Science:
- Mathematical Optimization
- Statistical Mechanics
- Computational Mathematics
Background:
- Optimal transport measures distances between probability distributions.
- Regularized optimal transport, like Sinkhorn, reduces computational complexity but yields dense solutions.
- Dense solutions can hinder the interpretability of transport plans.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel deformed entropy based on q-algebra for optimal transport.
- To achieve sparse solutions in optimal transport for improved interpretability.
- To analyze the trade-off between solution sparsity and computational convergence speed.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing q-algebra to define a deformed entropy function.
- Applying the deformed entropy as a regularizer in the optimal transport problem.
- Theoretical analysis of the optimization process, including convergence properties with the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm.
Main Results:
- The q-algebra deformed entropy generates sparsely supported optimal transport solutions.
- Sparsity of the solutions increases as the deformation parameter q approaches zero.
- Larger values of q correlate with faster convergence rates during optimization.
Conclusions:
- Deformed entropy offers a method to control sparsity in optimal transport solutions.
- The parameter q in q-algebra deformed entropy governs the trade-off between solution sparsity and convergence speed.
- This approach enhances the interpretability of transport plans derived from optimal transport.
