It is shown that the Kullback-Liebler distance (relative entropy) always decreases for two probability distributions evolving along a Markov chain. If the … 22 Feb 2023 09:30 to 11:00 Event Benoit Coasne Adsorption and fluid transport in nanoporous materials Seminar Abstract Due to their nanometric porosity and high specific surface area, nanoporous materials are at the heart of fundamental research aimed at studying the role of nanoconfinement and surface forces on thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.
