A Variational Method in Out-of-Equilibrium Physical Systems
We propose a new variational principle for out-of-equilibrium dynamic systems that are fundamentally based on the method of Lagrange multipliers applied to the total entropy of an ensemble of particles. However, we use the fundamental equation of thermodynamics on differential forms, considering U and S as 0-forms. We obtain a set of two first order differential equations that reveal the same f...
متن کاملTemperature of systems out of thermodynamic equilibrium.
Two phenomenological approaches are currently used in the study of the vitreous state. One is based on the concept of fictive temperature introduced by Tool [J. Res. Natl. Bur. Stand. 34, 199 (1945)] and recently revisited by Nieuwenhuizen [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 5580 (1998)]. The other is based on the thermodynamics of irreversible processes initiated by De Donder at the beginning of the last ce...
متن کاملInteracting particle systems out of equilibrium
These notes are based on lectures delivered by the authors at the Langeoog seminar of SFB/TR12 Symmetries and universality in mesoscopic systems in November 2007, to a mixed audience of mathematicians and theoretical physicists. After a brief outline of the basic physical concepts of equilibrium and nonequilibrium states, the one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) i...
متن کاملA variational principle for the equilibrium of hard sphere systems
We show that the equilibrium state of an infinite system of interacting hard spheres can be obtained in the grand canonical formalism by means of a variational principle. We give also a simple application deriving the Salsburg-Zwanzig-Kirkwood expressions for correlation. functions of the equilibrium state of one dimensional systems of hard spheres. §
متن کاملFree and constrained equilibrium states in a variational problem on a surface
We study the equilibrium states for an energy functional with a parametric force field on a region of a surface. Consideration of free equilibrium states is based on Lyusternik - Schnirelman's and Skrypnik's variational methods. Consideration of equilibrium states under a constraint of geometrical character is based on an analog of Skrypnik's method, described in [P. Vyridis, {it Bifurcation in...
