Maximum entropy generation and κ-exponential model

Lucia, Umberto - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 389 (2010) 21, pp. 4558-4563

An increasing number of natural phenomena appear to deviate from standard statistical distributions. It has kindled interest in alternative formulation of statistical mechanics which should preserve most of the mathematical structures of the Boltzmann–Gibbs theory, while reproducing the...

Diffusive Lorentz gases and multibaker maps are compatible with irreversible thermodynamics

Gaspard, P.; Nicolis, G.; Dorfman, J.R. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 323 (2003) C, pp. 294-322

We show that simple diffusive systems, such as the Lorentz gas and multibaker maps, are perfectly compatible with the laws of irreversible thermodynamics, despite the fact that the moving particles, or their equivalents, in these models do not interact with each other, and that the dynamics...

Particles, maps and irreversible thermodynamics

Cohen, E.G.D.; Rondoni, L. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 306 (2002) C, pp. 117-128

We analyze some models of nonequilibrium systems proposed in the past decade which derive the laws of irreversible thermodynamics from deterministic dynamics. We find that these models do not posses the crucial property of local thermodynamic equilibrium, since they represent noninteracting...

Hamiltonian dynamics, nanosystems, and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics

Gaspard, Pierre - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 369 (2006) 1, pp. 201-246

to be at the origin of the positive entropy production of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Furthermore, large … dynamics such as the Lyapunov exponents, the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy per unit time, and the fractal dimensions. We show that … new formula relating the entropy production to the difference between an entropy per unit time of Kolmogorov–Sinai type …

Generalized statistical complexity measures: Geometrical and analytical properties

Martin, M.T.; Plastino, A.; Rosso, O.A. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 369 (2006) 2, pp. 439-462

We discuss bounds on the values adopted by the generalized statistical complexity measures [M.T. Martin et al., Phys. Lett. A 311 (2003) 126; P.W. Lamberti et al., Physica A 334 (2004) 119] introduced by López Ruiz et al. [Phys. Lett. A 209 (1995) 321] and Shiner et al. [Phys. Rev. E 59 (1999)...

Temporal and thermodynamic irreversibility in production theory

Baumgärtner, Stefan - In: Economic Theory 26 (2005) 3, pp. 725-728

The two notions of temporal and thermodynamic irreversibility are distinguished. It is shown that the irreversibility … concept of Arrow-Debreu, while establishing temporal irreversibility, does not encompass thermodynamic irreversibility. This … means, the standard irreversibility concept of production theory is too weak to be in full accordance with the laws of …
