The time evolution of the concentrations is given by the law of mass action and leads to a dynamical system (with discrete or continuous time) which is governed by a polynomial map of the interval [B, C], where B0 and C1. We define the physically meaningful range for the parameters of the map, and we show that, within such a range, the map has a unique fixed point, which is stable and a global attractor, with the exception of one particular case, where bifurcation is observed. 相似文献

We analyze a one dimensional quantum model with off-diagonal disorder, consisting of a sequence of potential energy barriers whose width is a random variable either uniformly or “half-normally” distributed, subjected to an external electric field. We shed light on how the microscopic disorder affects the value of the transmission coefficient and on the structure of the fluctuations around the solutions corresponding to the regular lattice configuration. We also characterize the asymptotic limit obtained by letting the number of barriers diverge. Thus, we explain the novelty of our method with respect to the standard thermodynamic limit discussed in the literature and also evidence the onset of a large deviation principle for the transmission coefficient. 相似文献

We review the main aspects of the foundations of statistical mechanics. In particular we explain why many degrees of freedom are necessary, while chaos (in the sense of positive Lyapunov exponents) is only marginally relevant, for the emergence of statistical laws in macroscopic systems. 相似文献

We give a proof of transient fluctuation relations for the entropy production (dissipation function) in nonequilibrium systems,
which is valid for most time reversible dynamics. We then consider the conditions under which a transient fluctuation relation
yields a steady state fluctuation relation for driven nonequilibrium systems whose transients relax, producing a unique nonequilibrium
steady state. Although the necessary and sufficient conditions for the production of a unique nonequilibrium steady state
are unknown, if such a steady state exists, the generation of the steady state fluctuation relation from the transient relation
is shown to be very general. It is essentially a consequence of time reversibility and of a form of decay of correlations
in the dissipation, which is needed also for, e.g., the existence of transport coefficients. Because of this generality the
resulting steady state fluctuation relation has the same degree of robustness as do equilibrium thermodynamic equalities.
The steady state fluctuation relation for the dissipation stands in contrast with the one for the phase space compression
factor, whose convergence is problematic, for systems close to equilibrium. We examine some model dynamics that have been
considered previously, and show how they are described in the context of this work. 相似文献

We test the applicability of the Gallavotti–Cohen fluctuation formula on a nonequilibrium version of the periodic Ehrenfest wind-tree model. This is an one-particle system whose dynamics is rather complex (e.g., it appears to be diffusive at equilibrium), but its Lyapunov exponents are nonpositive. For small applied field, the system exhibits a very long transient, during which the dynamics is roughly chaotic, followed by asymptotic collapse on a periodic orbit. During the transient, the dynamics is diffusive, and the fluctuations of the current are found to be in agreement with the fluctuation formula, despite the lack of real hyperbolicity. These results also constitute an example which manifests the difference between the fluctuation formula and the Evans–Searles identity. 相似文献

The Jarzynski equality (JE) was originally derived under the deterministic Hamiltonian formalism, and later, it was demonstrated that stochastic Langevin dynamics also lead to the JE. However, the JE has been verified mainly in small, low-dimensional systems described by Langevin dynamics. Although the two theoretical derivations apparently lead to the same expression, we illustrate that they describe fundamentally different experimental conditions. While the Hamiltonian framework assumes that the thermal bath producing the initial canonical equilibrium switches off for the duration of the work process, the Langevin bath effectively acts on the system. Moreover, the former considers an environment with which the system may interact, whereas the latter does not. In this study, we investigate the effect of the bath on the measurable quantity of the JE through molecular dynamics simulations of crystal nanoindentation employing deterministic and stochastic thermostats. Our analysis shows that the distributions of the kinetic energy and the mechanical work produced during the indentation processes are affected by the interaction between the system and the thermostat baths. As a result, the type of thermostatting has also a clear effect on the left-hand side of the JE, which enables the estimation of the free-energy difference characterizing the process. 相似文献

We illustrate how, contrary to common belief, transient Fluctuation Relations (FRs) for systems in constant external magnetic field hold without the inversion of the field. Building on previous work providing generalized time-reversal symmetries for systems in parallel external magnetic and electric fields, we observe that the standard proof of these important nonequilibrium properties can be fully reinstated in the presence of net dissipation. This generalizes recent results for the FRs in orthogonal fields—an interesting but less commonly investigated geometry—and enables direct comparison with existing literature. We also present for the first time a numerical demonstration of the validity of the transient FRs with nonzero magnetic field via nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of a realistic model of liquid NaCl. 相似文献
