Energy Conversion and Entropy Production in Biased Random Walk Processes -- from Discrete Modeling to the Continuous Limit
Henning Kirchberg, Abraham Nitzan
We consider discrete and continuous representations of a thermodynamic process in which a random walker (e.g. a molecular motor on a molecular track) uses a periodically pumped ene…
