Exact nonequilibrium work generating function for a small classical system.

چکیده
We obtain the exact nonequilibrium work generating function (NEWGF) for a small system consisting of a massive Brownian particle connected to internal and external springs. The external work is provided to the system for a finite-time interval. The Jarzynski equality, obtained in this case directly from the NEWGF, is shown to be valid for the present model, in an exact way regardless of the rate of external work.

Work relations connecting nonequilibrium steady states without detailed balance.
Bridging equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical physics attracts sustained interest. Hallmarks of nonequilibrium systems include a breakdown of detailed balance, and an absence of a priori potential function corresponding to the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution, without which classical equilibrium thermodynamical quantities could not be defined. Here, we construct dynamically the potential func...
متن کاملFast Generation of Deviates for Order Statistics by an Exact Method
We propose an exact method for generating random deviates from continuous order statistics. This versatile method that generates Beta deviates as a middle step can be applied to any density function without resorting to numerical inversion. We also conduct an exhaustive investigation to document the merits of our method in generating deviates from any Beta distribution.
متن کاملComputation of current cumulants for small nonequilibrium systems
We analyze a systematic algorithm for the exact computation of the current cumulants in stochastic nonequilibrium systems, recently discussed in the framework of full counting statistics for mesoscopic systems. This method is based on identifying the current cumulants from a Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation expansion for the generating function. Here it is derived from a simple path-distributi...
متن کاملQuantum free-energy differences from nonequilibrium path integrals. I. Methods and numerical application.
In this paper, the imaginary-time path-integral representation of the canonical partition function of a quantum system and nonequilibrium work fluctuation relations are combined to yield methods for computing free-energy differences in quantum systems using nonequilibrium processes. The path-integral representation is isomorphic to the configurational partition function of a classical field the...
متن کاملNonequilibrium solutions of the Boltzmann equation under the action of an external force.
We construct a novel class of exact solutions to the Boltzmann equation, in both its classical and quantum formulation, for arbitrary collision laws. When the system is subjected to a specific external forcing, the precise form of which is worked out, nonequilibrium dampingless solutions are admissible. They do not contradict the H theorem, but are constructed from its requirements. Interesting...
