Total entropy production fluctuation theorems in a nonequilibrium time-periodic steady state

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

We investigate the total entropy production of a Brownian particle in a driven bistable system. This system exhibits the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. We show that in the time-periodic steady state, the probability density function for the total entropy production satisfies Seifert's integral and detailed fluctuation theorems over finite time trajectories.
