Approach to equilibrium of coupled harmonic oscillator systems. II

The approach to equilibrium of a finite segment of an infinite chain of harmonically coupled masses is studied in several variations. The chain is taken as completely free, or it is bound atx ₀ =0; ordinary coordinates and momenta or Schrödinger variables are used to treat the dynamics; and the inital distribution of heat-bath variables is chosen to be canonical or noncanonical. Equipartition of energy is found in all cases. Brownian drifts are obtained for the free chain with ordinary variables, but when this is excluded, the equilibrium entropy is found to be canonical and extensive when the initial heat bath is canonical, but less than canonical and slightly nonextensive when the initial heat bath is noncanonical. The modifications of the entropy do not contribute to the heat capacity of the system.Supported in part by the United States Atomic Energy Commission.

Existence theory of the linear equations appearing in the Chapman-Enskog solutions to two kinetic equations for liquids

The linear operators appearing in the Chapman-Enskog solutions to Kirkwood's Fokker-Planck kinetic equation and to Rice and Allnatt's kinetic equation are studied in this article. Existence proofs are given for the linearized Chapman-Enskog equations involving either the Fokker-Planck or the Rice-Allnatt operators. It is shown that the Fokker-Planck and Rice-Allnatt operators, defined in the domain appropriate to kinetic theory, are essentially self-adjoint. It is also shown that the spectrum of either of these operators coincides with the spectrum of the self-adjoint extension of the corresponding operator.Sloan Foundation Fellow 1968–70.

Evaluating the dynamical coupling between spatiotemporally chaotic signals via an information theory approach

An information-theoretic measure is introduced for evaluating the dynamical coupling of spatiotemporally chaotic signals produced by extended systems. The measure of the one-way coupled map lattices and the one-dimensional, homogeneous, diffusively coupled map lattices is computed with the symbolic analysis method. The numerical results show that the information measure is applicable to determining the dynamical coupling between two directly coupled or indirectly coupled chaotic signals.     

Wave function of the harmonic oscillator in classical statistical mechanics

The notion of wave function of the classical harmonic oscillator is discussed.

Rate of Entropy Production in Stochastic Mechanical Systems

Entropy production in stochastic mechanical systems is examined here with strict bounds on its rate. Stochastic mechanical systems include pure diffusions in Euclidean space or on Lie groups, as well as systems evolving on phase space for which the fluctuation-dissipation theorem applies, i.e., return-to-equilibrium processes. Two separate ways for ensembles of such mechanical systems forced by noise to reach equilibrium are examined here. First, a restorative potential and damping can be applied, leading to a classical return-to-equilibrium process wherein energy taken out by damping can balance the energy going in from the noise. Second, the process evolves on a compact configuration space (such as random walks on spheres, torsion angles in chain molecules, and rotational Brownian motion) lead to long-time solutions that are constant over the configuration space, regardless of whether or not damping and random forcing balance. This is a kind of potential-free equilibrium distribution resulting from topological constraints. Inertial and noninertial (kinematic) systems are considered. These systems can consist of unconstrained particles or more complex systems with constraints, such as rigid-bodies or linkages. These more complicated systems evolve on Lie groups and model phenomena such as rotational Brownian motion and nonholonomic robotic systems. In all cases, it is shown that the rate of entropy production is closely related to the appropriate concept of Fisher information matrix of the probability density defined by the Fokker–Planck equation. Classical results from information theory are then repurposed to provide computable bounds on the rate of entropy production in stochastic mechanical systems.
