We revisit stochastic thermodynamics for a system with discrete energy states in contact with a heat and particle reservoir.

We develop a theoretical framework for the stochastic thermodynamics of reactive systems. We show that the transition probabilities per unit time of reactive events must satisfy specific constraints, in order for stochastic approaches to lead to physically meaningful results in the macroscopic...

We test the fluctuation theorem from measurements in turbulent flows. We study the time fluctuations of the force acting on an obstacle, and we consider two experimental situations: the case of a von Kármán swirling flow between counter-rotating disks and the case of a wind tunnel jet. We...

We derive a generalized version of the work fluctuation theorem for non-equilibrium systems with spatio-temporal temperature fluctuations. For χ2-distributed inverse temperature, we obtain a generalized fluctuation theorem based on q-exponentials, whereas for other temperature distributions...

An overview is given of recent advances in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics on the basis of the theory of Hamiltonian dynamical systems and in the perspective provided by the nanosciences. It is shown how the properties of relaxation toward a state of equilibrium can be derived from...

The subject of the present paper is a simplified model for a symmetric bistable system with memory or delay, the reference model, which in the presence of noise exhibits a phenomenon similar to what is known as stochastic resonance. The reference model is given by a one dimensional parametrized...

Thermal pulsations in a transition from a nucleate to a film regime of water boiling on a wire heater with a periodic Joule heat release have been studied experimentally. At frequencies of the periodic action smaller than 0.1 Hz the intermittency of the nucleate and film boiling regimes was...

The model of a stochastic oscillator subject to additive random force, which includes the Brownian motion, is widely used for analysis of different phenomena in physics, chemistry, biology, economics and social science. As a rule, by the appropriate choice of units one assumes that the...

Power spectrum densities for the number of tick quotes per minute (market activity) on three currency markets (USD/JPY, EUR/USD, and JPY/EUR) are analyzed for periods from January 2000 to December 2000. We find some peaks on the power spectrum densities at a few minutes. We develop the...

By using the linear approximation method, the laser intensity power spectrum and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are calculated for a gain-noise model of a single-mode laser driven by colored cross-correlated pump noise and quantum noise, each of which is colored. We found that stochastic...
