Optimal preparation and reachable-state constraints in the Mpemba effect

C. Ríos-Monje, A. Patrón-Castro, C. A. Plata +2

The paper investigates how to optimally prepare initial states of uniformly heated granular fluids to maximize or minimize the Mpemba effect, showing that the stochastic thermostat…

Time-optimal synchronisation to self-sustained oscillations under bounded control

C. Ríos-Monje, C. A. Plata, D. Guéry-Odelin +1

Incorporating force bounds is crucial for realistic control implementations in physical systems. Here, we investigate the fastest possible synchronisation of a Liénard system to i…

Minimum time connection between non-equilibrium steady states: the Brownian gyrator

A. Patrón, C. A. Plata, A. Prados

We study the problem of minimising the connection time between non-equilibrium steady states of the Brownian Gyrator. This is a paradigmatic model in non-equilibrium statistical me…

Active charge and discharge of a capacitor: scaling solution and energy optimization

S. Faure, C. A. Plata, A. Prados +1

Capacitors are ubiquitous in electronic and electrical devices. In this article, we study -- both theoretically and experimentally -- the charging and discharging of capacitors usi…

Optimal synchronisation to a limit cycle

C. Ríos-Monje, C. A. Plata, D. Guéry-Odelin +1

In the absence of external forcing, all trajectories on the phase plane of the van der Pol oscillator tend to a closed, periodic, trajectory -- the limit cycle -- after infinite ti…
