Scaling Relations of Lognormal Type Growth Process with an Extremal Principle of Entropy

Abstract: Abstract:The scale, inflexion point and maximum point are important scaling parameters for studying growth phenomena with a size following the lognormal function. The width of the size function and its entropy depend on the scale parameter (or the standard deviation) and measure the relative importance of production and dissipation involved in the growth process. The Shannon entropy increases monotonically with the scale parameter, but the slope has a minimum at √ 6/6. This value has been used previously to st… Show more

“…As it is not currently known what sets this quantity, here we explore two options: the first uses maximization of entropy production to set σ M " 1{ ? 6, which is fairly widely observed in natural processes [64]. This estimate should occur for large systems, but for small systems one would expect the variance to be set by shot noise instead, σ " a M iso {M inner , making use of the isolation mass defined in the next section.…”

“…Claude Shannon derived for the log-normal distribution the SHANNON SHAPE PARAMETER σ = 1/√6 ≈ 0.4082 based on the extremal principle of entropy. There are a lot of situations where this Shannon shape parameter determines very well the observed experimental data, e.g., [37] where is a very good introduction to this Shannon model. We assume that the Solar gravitational field interplays with all Maxwell-Boltzmann particles and the combination of microscopic redshifted speeds of individual particles results in a single macroscopic redshift speed determined by the Einstein median.…”
