Application of the maximum information entropy principle to selforganizing systems

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

Self-organizing systems are systems which can acquire macroscopic spatial, temporal, or spatio-temporal structures by means of internal processes. Hitherto the distribution functions of the order parameters governing the macroscopic structures could be calculated by microscopic theories only. In the present paper we derive them from macroscopic quantities, where we demonstrate the procedure explicitly by means of the single and multimode laser close to the lasing threshold.
