Abstract: Computing the partition function and the marginals of a global probability ... namely the lower bound computed by the minimum entropy sub-tree. We also investigate the relationship between ...

The total energy, free energy, entropy, or pressure of a system can be expressed mathematically in terms of the partition function or its derivatives. Kemper and his colleagues used a quantum ...

We also derive low-complexity upper and lower bounds on the partition function, i.e. the global normalization constant, for a given inference problem Published in: Proceedings. International Symposium ...

But the true law has an extra term. What’s going on ... There’s something more fundamental than the Shannon entropy of a probability distribution: namely, it’s partition function. At least that’s how ...

and different parts of a system have their own entropy. “So that is what the Zentropy equation is about, stacking them together. It creates a partition function that is the sum of all the entropy ...

The entropy of mixing of a multicomponent system of particles ... and does not require any level of additional simulation (such as the calculation of partition functions, autocorrelation functions, or ...
