Linear optimal protocol for physical constraints in weakly driven processes
Pierre Nazé
The minimization of irreversible work in weakly driven systems within linear response under physical constraints on the protocol derivative is studied. The problem reduces to a shi…

A self-consistent criterion for the range of validity of weakly driven processes
Pierre Nazé
One of the longstanding open questions in linear response theory concerns its true range of validity. Determining when the linear approximation can be trusted typically requires kn…
