The Boltzmann distribution in the problem of rational choice by population of a patch under an imperfect information about its resources by Alexander N. Kirillov, Inna V. Danilova

“…In order to define the optimal patch choice for population, a variational approach, based on the idea of the Boltzmann distribution is proposed. To construct the probability distribution the utility functions are used, that take into account factors that can influence the patch choice of a population: available information about the quality of patches, the energy utility of patches, the cost of moving to the patch, the cost of information about the quality of patches. …”
