Abstract: | The probability of occurrence of fluctuations around nonequilibrium steady states is discussed from a kinetic viewpoint. It is shown that in a large class of continuous media it is possible to extend the thermodynamic theory of fluctuations, provided one uses suitable steady-state parameters rather than equilibrium quantities. |
