Towards a classification scheme for non-equilibrium steady states
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general classification scheme for nonequilibrium steady states in terms of their stationary probability distribution and the associated probability currents is proposed. This scheme allows us to identify all choices of transition rates, based on a master equation, which generate the same nonequilibrium steady state. One important consequence is a generalized detailed balance condition.

High-order well-balanced schemes and applications to non-equilibrium flow
The appearance of the source terms in modeling non-equilibrium flow problems containing finite-rate chemistry or combustion poses additional numerical difficulties beyond that for solving non-reacting flows. A well-balanced scheme, which can preserve certain non-trivial steady state solutions exactly, may help minimize some of these difficulties. In this paper, a simple one-dimensional non-equi...
متن کاملA Composite Finite Difference Scheme for Subsonic Transonic Flows (RESEARCH NOTE).
This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...
متن کاملNonequilibrium stationary states and equilibrium models with long range interactions
It was recently suggested by Blythe and Evans that a properly defined steady state normalization factor can be seen as a partition function of a fictitious statistical ensemble in which the transition rates of the stochastic process play the role of fugacities. In analogy with the Lee–Yang description of phase transition of equilibrium systems, they studied the zeros in the complex plane of the...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium steady states: fluctuations and large deviations of the density and of the current
These lecture notes give a short review of methods such as the matrix ansatz, the additivity principle or the macroscopic fluctuation theory, developed recently in the theory of non-equilibrium phenomena. They show how these methods allow us to calculate the fluctuations and large deviations of the density and the current in non-equilibrium steady states of systems like exclusion processes. The...
متن کاملOn the Optimal Taxation of Common-Pool Resources
Recent research developments in common-pool resource models emphasize the importance of links with ecological systems and the presence of non-linearities, thresholds and multiple steady states. In a recent paper Kossioris et al. (2008) develop a methodology for deriving feedback Nash equilibria for non-linear differential games and apply this methodology to a common-pool resource model of a lak...
