Title: Recurrence times, waiting times and universal entropy production estimators
Abstract: The universal typical-signal estimators of entropy and cross entropy based on the asymptotics of recurrence and waiting times play an important role in information theory. Building on their construction, we introduce and study universal typical-signal estimators of entropy production in the context of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of one-sided shifts over finite alphabets. We will discuss some applications to DNA sequences.
