Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Few-Body Systems, 2002
Traditionally, the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is focussed on situations locally close to equilibrium (Green-Kubo formula, Onsager reciprocity relations) or to return to equilibrium (Boltzmann). In these lecture we will be concerned with nonequilibrium statistical mechanics far from equilibrium.

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Open Systems

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1968
A theoretical framework for the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of open systems is constructed. This is concerned with a formulation of a generalized master equation governing the evolution of an arbitrary system S in interaction with a ``large'' reservoir R.

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

2017
All along this book we have studied fluctuations in a classical physical system by implementing its description in terms of an ME and/or Fokker-Planck dynamics; in particular its relaxation to the thermal equilibrium distribution demands a constraint that nowadays is well known as the detailed balance condition.

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

2001
Abstract This is a presentation of the main ideas and methods of modern nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. It is the perfect introduction for anyone in chemistry or physics who needs an update or background in this time-dependent field.

Brownian Motion and Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Science, 1986
This article is a personal reflection of the branch of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics called the linear response theory that has as its heart the fluctuation-dissipation thereom, which states that irreversible processes in nonequilibrium are necessarily related to thermal fluctuations in equilibrium.

DYNAMICAL CHAOS AND NONEQUILIBRIUM STATISTICAL MECHANICS

Challenges for the 21st Century, 2001
Chaos in the motion of atoms and molecules composing fluids is a new topic in nonequilibrium physics. Relationships have been established between the characteristic quantities of chaos and the transport coefficients thanks to the concept of fractal repeller and the escape-rate formalism.

Entropy in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics

Physics Today, 1966
SINCE ANCIENT TIMES describing the behavior of macroscopic matter in terms of dynamic principles that govern its microscopic constituents has fascinated physicists. Foundations of the modern understanding were laid by Ludwig Boltzmann in the latter part of the 19th century.

The foundations of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, I

Annals of Physics, 1963
I. The aim of this paper is to obtain from first principles the equations which govern the evolution in time of a system that contains a large number of particles and to obtain the solutions of the equations of motion which are valid for times comparable to that needed for the system to reach the state of equilibrium.
