Responding to objections made by Sorin Coşofreţ concerning kinetic molecular theory: an illustration of how to teach physics students to evaluate pseudoscientific work
Marc Meléndez
Sorin Coşofreţ has argued that kinetic molecular theory does not correctly describe thermal equilibrium in ideal gases and has provided some examples that purportedly show that the…
Approximating the entire spectrum of nonequilibrium steady state distributions using relative entropy: An application to thermal conduction
Puneet Kumar Patra, Marc Meléndez, Baidurya Bhattacharya
We show that distribution functions of nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) evolving under a slowly varying protocol can be accurately obtained from limited data and the closest kno…
Gibbs-Jaynes Entropy Versus Relative Entropy
M. Meléndez, P. Español
The maximum entropy formalism developed by Jaynes determines the relevant ensemble in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics by maximising the entropy functional subject to the const…
Comment on "Logarithmic Oscillators: Ideal Hamiltonian Thermostats" [arXiv 1203.5968]
Marc Meléndez, William G. Hoover, Pep Español
Campisi, Zhan, Talkner and Hänggi have recently proposed a novel Hamiltonian thermostat which they claim may be used both in simulations and experiments [arXiv:1203.5968v4]. We sho…
