Abstract: | Linear response theory is developed for nonstationary Markov processes. A generalized fluctuation theorem is derived which relates the response function to a correlation of fluctuations of the unperturbed nonstationary process. It is shown that it reduces to an ordinary fluctuation theorem relating the response function to the two-point correlation between fluctuations of state variables in the case of a Gaussian distribution function. The results are illustrated by explicit calculation for the class of nonstationary linear Fokker-Planck processes.Supported by Schweizerischer Nationalfonds. |
