Revisiting the Gaia Hypothesis: Maximum Entropy, Kauffman’s‘Fourth Law’ and Physiosemeiosis

Herrmann-Pillath, Carsten - Frankfurt School of Finance & Management - 2011

Recently, Kleidon suggested a restatement of the Gaia hypothesis based on Maximum Entropyapproaches to the Earth system. Refuting conceptions of Gaia as a homeostatic system,Gaia is seen as a non-equilibrium thermodynamic system which continuously moves awayfrom equilibrium, driven by maximum...

Generalized Hausdorff inverse moment problem

Pintarelli, María B.; Vericat, Fernando - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 324 (2003) 3, pp. 568-588

We consider a generalization of Hausdorff moment problem in which the inputs are generalized moments defined by μαn≡∫01xn[f(x)]αdx(n=1,2,…) where α is a real number and f(x) is the probability density function to be determined. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence...
