Entropy Flux and Lagrange Multipliers: Information Theory and Thermodynamics

  • Published:
Open Systems & Information Dynamics

Abstract

We analyze the relation between the nonequilibrium Lagrange multipliers used in information theory and those used in Liu's technique to exploit the entropy inequality. In particular, we deal with some of the subtleties found in the analysis of the entropy flux.
