Stochastic approach to irreversible thermodynamics

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2017
An extension of classical irreversible thermodynamics pioneered by Ilya Prigogine is developed, in which fluctuations of macroscopic observables accounting for microscopic-scale processes are incorporated. The contribution of the fluctuations to the entropy production is derived from a generalized entropy balance equation and expressed in terms of the ...

On the stochastic properties of the thermodynamic hamiltonian

Physics Letters A, 1978
Abstract If the generalized momentum in the hamiltonian equations is considered as a rapidly varying stochastic function of time then a solution of the master equation is most easily obtained by applying the central limit theorem in much the same way as one does with the Langevin equation.

Thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics of strongly coupled systems

Physical Review E
We further develop the strong-coupling theory of thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics for continuous systems, constructed in the previous work [Phys. Rev. Res. 4, 013015 (2022)2643-156410.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.013015]. A small system strongly interacting with a its environment, the dynamics of the system is assumed to be much slower than that ...

Stochastic Thermodynamics

Stochastic thermodynamics has emerged as a comprehensive theoretical framework for a large class of non-equilibrium systems including molecular motors, biochemical reaction networks, colloidal particles in time-dependent laser traps, and bio-polymers under external forces.

Towards Stochastic Continuum Thermodynamics

Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, 2002
Two lines of studies for dealing with continua with a microstructure are compared. The first one is the line developed by the author and his coworkers introducing stochastic continuum mechanics with random microstructural features on a scale smaller than the representative volume element.

From Stochastic Thermodynamics to Thermodynamic Inference

Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2019
For a large class of nonequilibrium systems, thermodynamic notions like work, heat, and, in particular, entropy production can be identified on the level of fluctuating dynamical trajectories. Within stochastic thermodynamics various fluctuation theorems relating these quantities have been proven.
