The ]-∞,+∞]-valued extension of x ↦ x \log x - x that equals 0 at 0 and +∞ on the
negative half-line.
Instances For
On (0,+∞), boltzmannEntropy is given by the real formula x \log x - x.
At 0, boltzmannEntropy takes the value 0.
On (-∞,0), boltzmannEntropy takes the value +∞.
The effective domain of boltzmannEntropy is the closed half-line [0,+∞).
boltzmannEntropy is proper as an extended-real-valued function.
The extended-real-valued representative of boltzmannEntropy is lower semicontinuous on
ℝ.
boltzmannEntropy is strictly convex on its effective domain [0,+∞).
Example 9.35: the function equal to x \log x - x on (0,+∞), equal to 0 at 0, and equal
to +∞ on (-∞,0) belongs to Γ₀(ℝ); equivalently, it is proper, lower semicontinuous, and
strictly convex on its effective domain [0,+∞).
