On Entropy Production in Informational Statistical Thermodynamics
We consider the question of the existence of a generalized H-theorem in the context of the variational method in the information-theoretical approach that generates the nonequilibrium statistical operator formalism. After brie y reviewing how the latter provides mechano-statistical foundations for phenomenological irreversible thermodynamics, the socalled Informational Statistical Thermodynamic...
متن کاملThermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics and Entropy
The proper definition of thermodynamics and the thermodynamic entropy is discussed in the light of recent developments. The postulates for thermodynamics are examined critically, and some modifications are suggested to allow for the inclusion of long-range forces (within a system), inhomogeneous systems with non-extensive entropy, and systems that can have negative temperatures. Only the thermo...
متن کاملCatalytic Thermodynamics of Nanocluster Adsorbates from Informational Statistical Mechanics
This Letter presents a new approach for studying the catalytic thermodynamics of cuboctahedral nanoclusters, using informational statistical mechanics. The Morse potential determines bond energies between cluster atoms in a coordination type calculation. Applied density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrate adatom effects on the thermodynamic quantities, which are derived from a Hami...
متن کاملBlack hole entropy: statistical mechanics agrees thermodynamics
We discuss the connection between different entropies introduced for black hole. It is demonstrated on the two-dimensional example that the (quantum) thermodynamical entropy of a hole coincides (including UV-finite terms) with its statisticalmechanical entropy calculated according to ’t Hooft and regularized by Pauli-Villars.

متن کاملStatistical Thermodynamics of General Minimal Diffusion Processes: Constuction, Invariant Density, Reversibility and Entropy Production
The solution to nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation is constructed in terms of the minimal Markov semigroup generated by the equation. The semigroup is obtained by a purely functional analytical method via Hille-Yosida theorem. The existence of the positive invariant measure with density is established and a weak form of Foguel alternative proven. We show the equivalence among self-adjoint of the ...
