A capacitor modeled as a parallel combination of a resistance (R) and a capacitance (C) exhibits three distinct operating regimes when both parameters depend on the applied voltage (V): a positive-capacitance regime (dR/R>dV/V), an Ohmic regime (dR/R=dV/V), and a negative-capacitance regime (dR/R

Session 6. Statistical Physics and Stochastic Processes
Statistical physics connects microscopic randomness to macroscopic regularities through probabilistic reasoning. Modern statistical physics intersects with information theory, inference, and computation from Brownian motion to complex adaptive systems. This session welcomes contributions that address new entropy measures, generalized statistics, non-Gaussian processes, and cross-disciplinary applications.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers for this session:
Prof. Dr. Ralf Metzler, University of Potsdam
Prof. Dr. Hong Qian, Westlake University

Join us at Entropy 2026: Exploring Complexity and Information in Science (1–3 July 2026) in Barcelona for engaging discussions on entropy, information theory, complexity, and related interdisciplinary fields.
