Boltzmann Complexity: An Emergent Property of the Majorization Partial Order

Boltzmann macrostates, which are in 1:1 correspondence with the partitions of integers, are investigated. Integer partitions, unlike entropy, uniquely characterize Boltzmann states, but their use has been limited. Integer partitions are well known to be partially ordered by majorization. It is less...
