Entropy Theory and its Application in Environmental and WaterEngineering responds to the need for a book that deals withbasic concepts of entropy theory from a hydrologic and waterengineering perspective and then for a book that deals withapplications of these concepts to a range of water engineeringproblems. The range of applications of entropy is constantlyexpanding and new areas finding a use for the theory arecontinually emerging. The applications of concepts and techniquesvary across different subject areas and this book aims to relatethem directly to practical problems of environmental and waterengineering.
The book presents and explains the Principle of Maximum Entropy(POME) and the Principle of Minimum Cross Entropy (POMCE) and theirapplications to different types of probability distributions.Spatial and inverse spatial entropy are important for urbanplanning and are presented with clarity. Maximum entropy spectralanalysis and minimum cross entropy spectral analysis are powerfultechniques for addressing a variety of problems faced byenvironmental and water scientists and engineers and are describedhere with illustrative examples.
Giving a thorough introduction to the use of entropy to measurethe unpredictability in environmental and water systems this bookwill add an essential statistical method to the toolkit ofpostgraduates, researchers and academic hydrologists, waterresource managers, environmental scientists and engineers. Itwill also offer a valuable resource for professionals in the sameareas, governmental organizations, private companies as well asstudents in earth sciences, civil and agricultural engineering, andagricultural and rangeland sciences.
This book:
* Provides a thorough introduction to entropy for beginners andmore experienced users
* Uses numerous examples to illustrate the applications of thetheoretical principles
* Allows the reader to apply entropy theory to the solution ofpractical problems
* Assumes minimal existing mathematical knowledge
* Discusses the theory and its various aspects in both univariateand bivariate cases
* Covers newly expanding areas including neural networks from anentropy perspective and future developments.
