  • A topological theory has been introduced to extend the theory of Balsara and Nauman to evaluate the entropy of in homogeneous polymer solutions. Previous theories have considered only the terms about the displacement of junction points, while the present theory has obtained a more complete expression for the entropy by adding the topological interaction terms between strands. There have been predicted the characteristics of the spinodal decomposition and the interfacial tension of polymer solutions from the resultant expression. It is exposed that the theoretically predictive values show good agreement with the experimental data for polymer solutions.

  • Recently, the Q-Learning algorithm, which is one kind of reinforcement learning, is mainly used to implement artificial intelligence system in combination with deep learning. Many research is going on to improve the performance of Q-Learning. Therefore, purpose of theory try to improve the performance of Q-Learning algorithm. This Theory apply Cross Entropy Error to the loss function of Q-Learning algorithm. Since the mean squared error used in Q-Learning is difficult to measure the exact error rate, the Cross Entropy Error, known to be highly accurate, is applied to the loss function. Experimental results show that the success rate of the Mean Squared Error used in the existing reinforcement learning was about 12% and the Cross Entropy Error used in the deep learning was about 36%. The success rate was shown.

  • The concept of entropy, introduced in communication theory by Shannon (1948) as a measure of uncertainty, is of prime interest in information-theoretic statistics. This paper considers the minimum variance unbiased estimation for the maximum entropy of the transformed inverse Gaussian random variable by $Y=X^{-1/2}$. The properties of the derived UMVU estimator is investigated.

  • Recently, Hooda and Ram [7] have proposed and characterized a new generalized measure of R-norm entropy. In the present communication we have studied its application in coding theory. Various mean codeword lengths and their bounds have been defined and a coding theorem on lower and upper bounds of a generalized mean codeword length in term of the generalized R-norm entropy has been proved.

  • The present study examines the impact of eWOM on consumer decision making process by viewing eWOM as the product information supplier. We employ the concept of information entropy which was proposed in the information theory to explain different consumer responses to various types of product information in eWOM. Information entropy is the degree of uncertainty associated with the information in the message. In eWOM, a variety of information with different levels of entropy is available, and these different entropy levels result in different impacts on consumer behavior. The preliminary hypotheses are formulated to examine the impact of eWOM on consumer behavior, at the product attribute level and the purchase action level separately. An experiment was conducted to online shopping mall users and the analysis gives valuable insights into our future research.

  • The network equilibrium theory is to estimate the travel choices on a transportation network when the resulting travel times and costs are one basis for the choices. Increasing use of this principle on travel assignment problem lead to develop the combined choice models including not only travel options such as mode and route, but location options like trip distribution problems. This paper, first, reviews earlier developments of variable demand network equilibrium models, combined modeles of trip distribution and assignment, and entropy constrained combined models. Then various model structures of combining travel choice models based on network equilibrium theory and entropy constraints are discussed.

  • In this paper, we review some aspects of geometry for charged rotating black holes which are formed from the gravitational collapse of a massive spinning star with electric charge. We also introduce the computation of entropy for black holes from loop quantum gravity which is a quantum theory of gravity based on Einstein's theory of general relativity.

  • Information theory is one field of the applied mathematics quantitating the data in order to store data as many as in the medium or communicate through channel. it was released on the Shannon's paper, in 1948. With basis on this paper, It has been achieved dramatically development for communication, signal processing, and date procedure and transmission in the network In this paper, the basic concept of information theory is described through dealing with contents about meaning of information, entropy, and channel capacity. It is also handled how information theory is applied to the fields of sensor network, relay channel, MIMO system, and others.

  • The purpose of this paper is to explain the entropic measures could cause the organization to increase the entropy. The organization as an open system has a tendency to input new energy to adapt itself to the change in its surroundings. This intention of inputting energy into organization is based on the second law of thermodynamics, the laws of entropy.Entropy is a measure of disorder, or a measure of progressing towards thermodynamic equilibrium. The entropy of an isolated system increases. Organizations have to open to their environment, have to do something to reduce their entropy. But, this attempt to reduce entropy entails another entropy. This study shows the side effects by giving examples of illegal receipt of worker's compensation insurance. The implications through the cases of illegal receipt of workers' compensation are as follows. Firstly, organizational policy is that inaction in itself may be the best policy, unless we always think the action best. Secondly, public organization should be careful in substituting business management in the private sector such as customer satisfaction(CS) for the value in public sector. Thirdly, the setting the expiration date of organizational policy could be the way to slow down the degree of entropy.
