What is a minimum work transition in stochastic thermodynamics?

Paolo Muratore-Ginanneschi, Julia Sanders

We reassess the concept of transition at minimum work in classical stochastic finite-time thermodynamics, when the system dynamics is modelled by a diffusion process. We show that…

Optimal Control of Engineered Swift Equilibration of Nanomechanical Oscillators

Julia Sanders, Paolo Muratore-Ginanneschi

We propose a reformulation of the problem of optimally controlled transitions in stochastic thermodynamics. We impose that any terminal cost specified by a thermodynamic functional…

On the numerical integration of the Fokker-Planck equation driven by a mechanical force and the Bismut-Elworthy-Li formula

Julia Sanders, Paolo Muratore-Ginanneschi

Optimal control theory aims to find an optimal protocol to steer a system between assigned boundary conditions while minimizing a given cost functional in finite time. Equations ar…

Optimal Control of Underdamped Systems: An Analytic Approach

Julia Sanders, Marco Baldovin, Paolo Muratore-Ginanneschi

Optimal control theory deals with finding protocols to steer a system between assigned initial and final states, such that a trajectory-dependent cost function is minimized. The ap…
