Total entropy production fluctuation theorems in a nonequilibrium time-periodic steady state

چکیده
We investigate the total entropy production of a Brownian particle in a driven bistable system. This system exhibits the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. We show that in the time-periodic steady state, the probability density function for the total entropy production satisfies Seifert’s integral and detailed fluctuation theorems over finite time trajectories.

Distribution of Entropy Production for a Colloidal Particle in a Nonequilibrium Steady State
For a colloidal particle driven by a constant force across a periodic potential, we investigate the distribution of entropy production both experimentally and theoretically. For short trajectories, the fluctuation theorem holds experimentally. The mean entropy production rate shows two regimes as a function of the applied force. Theoretically, both mean and variance of the pronounced non-Gaussi...
متن کاملOn the Origin and the Use of Fluctuation Relations for the Entropy
Since about a decade various fluctuation relations for the entropy production have been derived and analyzed. These relations deal with symmetries of the entropy production under time-reversal and have been proposed as a non-perturbative generalization of fluctuation–dissipation relations. I describe a unifying framework for understanding these relations and I present an algorithm to derive the...
متن کاملTest of the fluctuation theorem for stochastic entropy production in a nonequilibrium steady state.
We derive a simple closed analytical expression for the total entropy production along a single stochastic trajectory of a Brownian particle diffusing on a periodic potential under an external constant force. By numerical simulations we compute the probability distribution functions of the entropy and satisfactorily test many of the predictions based on Seifert's integral fluctuation theorem. T...
متن کاملTime Reversibility, Correlation Decay and the Steady State Fluctuation Relation for Dissipation
Steady state fluctuation relations for nonequilibrium systems are under intense investigation because of their important practical implications in nanotechnology and biology. However the precise conditions under which they hold need clarification. Using the dissipation function, which is related to the entropy production of linear irreversible thermodynamics, we show time reversibility, ergodic...
متن کاملFluctuations of the total entropy production in stochastic systems
Fluctuations of the excess heat in an out of equilibrium steady state are experimentally investigated in two stochastic systems : an electric circuit with an imposed mean current and a harmonic oscillator driven out of equilibrium by a periodic torque. In these two linear systems, we study excess heat that represents the difference between the dissipated heat out of equilibrium and the dissipat...
