Entropy production and coarse-graining in Markov processes [PDF]
, 2001 We study the large time fluctuations of entropy production in Markov processes. In particular, we consider the effect of a coarse-graining procedure which decimates {\em fast states} with respect to a given time threshold.

Entropy, 2020 Amidst certainty, efficiency can improve sustainability by reducing resource consumption. However, flexibility is needed to be able to survive when uncertainty increases. Apropos, sustainable production cannot persist in the long-term without having both

Entanglement entropy of N=2⁎ de Sitter vacuum
Nuclear Physics B, 2019 de Sitter vacuum of nonconformal gauge theories is non-equilibrium, manifested by a nonvanishing rate of the comoving entropy production at asymptotically late times.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the asymmetric Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model
Nature Communications, 2023 Most natural systems operate far from equilibrium, displaying time-asymmetric, irreversible dynamics characterized by a positive entropy production while exchanging energy and matter with the environment.

Microscopic approach to entropy production [PDF]
, 2012 It is a great challenge of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics to calculate entropy production within a microscopic theory. In the framework of linear irreversible thermodynamics, we combine the Mori-Zwanzig-Forster projection operator technique with ...

The Character of Entropy Production in Rayleigh–Bénard Convection
Entropy, 2014 In this study; the Rayleigh–Bénard convection model was established; and a great number of Bénard cells with different numbered vortexes were acquired by numerical simulation.

Maximum entropy production and plant optimization theories [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Plant ecologists have proposed a variety of optimization theories to explain the adaptive behaviour and evolution of plants from the perspective of natural selection (‘survival of the fittest’). Optimization theories identify some objective function—such as shoot or canopy photosynthesis, or growth rate—which is maximized with respect to one or more ...

Entropy production by resonance decays [PDF]
, 1996 We investigate entropy production for an expanding system of particles and resonances with isospin symmetry -- in our case pions and $\rho$ mesons -- within the framework of relativistic kinetic theory. A cascade code to simulate the kinetic equations is

Entropy, 2014 Ecosystem entropy production is predicted to increase along ecological succession and approach a state of maximum entropy production, but few studies have bridged the gap between theory and data.
