On the entropy of equilibrium measures and game-theoretic equilibrium feedback operators in multi-channel dynamical systems

Understand

We investigate the connection between the entropy of equilibrium measures and game-theoretic equilibrium feedback operators in a multi-channel dynamical system.

• Specifically, we show that the existence of an equilibrium measure, which maximizes the free energy (i.e., the sum of the entropy and the integral over a potential), is related to an equilibrium or "maximum entropy" state for the multi-channel dynamical system that is composed with a set of feedback operators.
• Further, we observe that such a connection makes sense when this set of feedback operators strategically interacts over an infinite-horizon, in a game-theoretic sense, using the current state-information of the system.
• Finally, we briefly comment on the implication of our result to the resilient behavior of the equilibrium feedback operators, when there is a random perturbation in the system.
