A framework of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. II. Coarse-graining
Alberto Montefusco, Mark A. Peletier, Hans Christian Öttinger
For a given thermodynamic system, and a given choice of coarse-grained state variables, the knowledge of a force-flux constitutive law is the basis for any nonequilibrium modeling.…

A framework of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. I. Role and type of fluctuations
Hans Christian Öttinger, Mark A. Peletier, Alberto Montefusco
Understanding the fluctuations by which phenomenological evolution equations with thermodynamic structure can be enhanced is the key to a general framework of nonequilibrium statis…

Coarse-graining via the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and large-deviation theory
Alberto Montefusco, Mark A. Peletier, Hans Christian Öttinger
The fluctuation-dissipation theorem is a central result in statistical mechanics and is usually formulated for systems described by diffusion processes. In this paper, we propose a…
