The Onsager–Machlup functional for data assimilation
Abstract. When taking the model error into account in data assimilation, one needs to evaluate the prior distribution represented by the Onsager–Machlup functional. Through numerical experiments, this study clarifies how the prior distribution should be incorporated into cost functions for discrete-time estimation problems. Consistent with previous theoretical studies, the divergence of the dri...
متن کاملMultiscale enhanced path sampling based on the Onsager-Machlup action: application to a model polymer.
We propose a novel path sampling method based on the Onsager-Machlup (OM) action by generalizing the multiscale enhanced sampling technique suggested by Moritsugu and co-workers [J. Chem. Phys. 133, 224105 (2010)]. The basic idea of this method is that the system we want to study (for example, some molecular system described by molecular mechanics) is coupled to a coarse-grained (CG) system, wh...
متن کاملGeneralized Onsager theory for strongly anisometric patchy colloids.
The implications of soft "patchy" interactions on the orientational disorder-order transition of strongly elongated colloidal rods and flat disks is studied within a simple Onsager-van der Waals density functional theory. The theory provides a generic framework for studying the liquid crystal phase behaviour of highly anisometric cylindrical colloids which carry a distinct geometrical pattern o...
متن کاملOnsager and the theory of hydrodynamic turbulence
Lars Onsager, a giant of twentieth-century science and the 1968 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, made deep contributions to several areas of physics and chemistry. Perhaps less well known is his ground-breaking work and lifelong interest in the subject of hydrodynamic turbulence. He wrote two papers on the subject in the 1940s, one of them just a short abstract. Unbeknownst to Onsager, one of his m...
متن کاملTransition paths in molecules at finite temperature
In the zero temperature limit, it is well known that in systems evolving via Brownian dynamics, the most likely transition path between reactant and product may be found as a minimizer of the Freidlin–Wentzell action functional. An analog for finite temperature transitions is given by the Onsager–Machlup functional. The purpose of this work is to investigate properties of Onsager– Machlup minim...
