The Maximum Entropy Production Principle: Its Theoretical Foundations and Applications to the Earth System

The Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle has been remarkably successful in producing accurate predictions for non-equilibrium states. We argue that this is because the MEP principle is an effective inference procedure that produces the best predictions from the available information. Since all...
