Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of systems under an external feedback. This is performed using a large deviation approach and rate distortion from information theory. In particular we define a lower boundary for the maximum entropy reduction that can be obtained using a feedback apparatus with a well defined accuracy in terms of measurement of the state of the system. The large deviation approach allows also to define a new set of potentials, including information, which similarly to more conventional thermodynamic potentials can define the state with optimal use of the information given the accuracy of the feedback apparatus.<br />Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures
