Coagulation kinetics beyond mean field theory using an optimised Poisson representation
James Burnett, Ian J. Ford
Binary particle coagulation can be modelled as the repeated random process of the combination of two particles to form a third. The kinetics can be represented by population rate e…
Symmetries of cyclic work distributions for an isolated harmonic oscillator
Ian J. Ford, David S. Minor, Simon J. Binnie
We have calculated the distribution of work done on a 1-d harmonic oscillator that is initially in canonical equilibrium at temperature , then thermally isolated and driven…
Entropy production from stochastic dynamics in discrete full phase space
Ian J. Ford, Richard E. Spinney
The stochastic entropy generated during the evolution of a system interacting with an environment may be separated into three components, but only two of these have a non-negative…
Entropy production in full phase space for continuous stochastic dynamics
Richard E. Spinney, Ian J. Ford
The total entropy production and its three constituent components are described both as fluctuating trajectory-dependent quantities and as averaged contributions in the context of…
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of stochastic systems with odd and even variables
Richard E. Spinney, Ian J. Ford
The total entropy production of stochastic systems can be divided into three quantities. The first corresponds to the excess heat, whilst the second two comprise the house-keeping…
Fluctuation relations: a pedagogical overview
Richard E. Spinney, Ian J. Ford
The fluctuation relations have received considerable attention since their emergence and development in the 1990s. We present a summary of the main results and suggest ways to inte…
