โœฆ Synopsis

It has been suggested that molecules arrange their electronic structure to be such that they have the maximum hardness, this being referred to as the principle of maximum hardness. This principle has been claimed to have been proved rigorously. We show that the proof is in error.

The Maximum Entropy Principle (MEP) maximises the entropy subject to the constraint that the effort remains constant. The Principle of Least Effort (PLE) minimises the effort subject to the constraint that the entropy remains constant. The paper investigates the relation between these two principles
