Cycle counts and affinities in stochastic models of non-equilibrium systems
Patrick Pietzonka, Jules Guioth, Robert L. Jack
For non-equilibrium systems described by finite Markov processes, we consider the number of times that a system traverses a cyclic sequence of states (a cycle). The joint distribut…
