Open systems in classical mechanics

چکیده
Generalized span categories provide a framework for formalizing mathematical models of open systems in classical mechanics. We introduce LagSy and HamSy that, respectively, categorical the Lagrangian Hamiltonian descriptions mechanical systems. The morphisms correspond to such systems, composition construction from subsystems. Legendre transformation gives rise functor that translates perspective.

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Open Classical Systems
We describe the ergodic and thermodynamical properties of chains of anharmonic oscillators coupled, at the boundaries, to heat reservoirs at positive and different temperatures. We discuss existence and uniqueness of stationary states, rate of convergence to stationarity, heat flows and entropy production, Kubo formula and Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem.
متن کاملClassical mechanics of nonconservative systems.
Hamilton's principle of stationary action lies at the foundation of theoretical physics and is applied in many other disciplines from pure mathematics to economics. Despite its utility, Hamilton's principle has a subtle pitfall that often goes unnoticed in physics: it is formulated as a boundary value problem in time but is used to derive equations of motion that are solved with initial data. T...
متن کاملOpen Classical Systems
Open systems are usually understood as a small Hamiltonian system (i.e. with a finite number of degrees of freedom) in contact with one or several large reservoirs. There are several ways to model reservoirs and we will take the point of view that the reservoirs are also Hamiltonian systems themselves. It is a convenient physical and mathematical idealization to separate scales and assume that ...

متن کاملStatistical mechanics of quantum-classical systems
The statistical mechanics of systems whose evolution is governed by mixed quantum-classical dynamics is investigated. The algebraic properties of the quantum-classical time evolution of operators and of the density matrix are examined and compared to those of full quantum mechanics. The equilibrium density matrix that appears in this formulation is stationary under the dynamics and a method for...
