Non-equilibrium Work Relations
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a brief review of recently derived relations describing the behaviour of systems far from equilibrium. They include the Fluctuation Theorem, Jarzynski’s and Crooks’ equalities, and an extended form of the Second Principle for general steady states. They are very general and their proofs are, in most cases, disconcertingly simple.

Fluctuation Relations for Di usions Thermally Driven by a Non-Stationary Bath
In the context of the dynamical evolution in a non-stationary thermal bath, we construct a family of uctuation relations for the entropy production that are not veri ed by the work performed on the system. We exhibit uctuation relations which are global versions either of the generalized Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem around a non-equilibrium di usion or of the usual Fluctuation-Dissipation Th...
متن کاملFluctuation relations in simple examples of non-equilibrium steady states
We discuss fluctuation relations in simple cases of non-equilibrium Langevin dynamics. In particular, we show that close to non-equilibrium steady states with non-vanishing probability currents some of these relations reduce to a modified version of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The latter may be interpreted as the equilibrium-like relation in the reference frame moving with the mean loc...
متن کاملResponse Theory for Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics: Causality and Generalized Kramers-Kronig relations
Abstract We consider the general response theory recently proposed by Ruelle for describing the impact of small perturbations to the non-equilibrium steady states resulting from Axiom A dynamical systems. We show that the causality of the response functions entails the possibility of writing a set of Kramers-Kronig relations for the corresponding susceptibilities at all orders of nonlinearity. ...
متن کاملComputing Equilibrium Free Energies Using Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics
As shown by Jarzynski, free energy differences between equilibrium states can be expressed in terms of the statistics of work carried out on a system during non-equilibrium transformations. This exact result, as well as the related Crooks fluctuation theorem, provide the basis for the computation of free energy differences from fast switching molecular dynamics simulations, in which an external...

Recently the Jarzynski equation have been under many investigations. In this equation a relation between the average exponential of the work done on a system under non-equilibrium condition and equilibrium free energy differences is established. In different papers the equation has already been extended to different conditions. In this paper we will extend it to a situation that a system is dri...
