The Fluctuation Theorem gives an analytical expression for the probability of observing second law violating dynamical fluctuations, in nonequilibrium systems. At equilibrium statistical mechanical fluctuations are known to be ensemble…
In this paper, we establish a generalization of Sturm--Picone comparison theorem for a pair of fractional nonlocal equations: \begin{eqnarray*} \begin{gathered} (-div. (A_1(x)\nabla))^{s} u = C_{1}(x) u \,\,\,\mbox{in}\,\,\Omega, u = 0…
We revisit basics of classical Sturm-Liouville theory and, as an application, recover Bochner's classification of second order ODEs with polynomial coefficients and polynomial solutions by a new argument. We also outline how a wider class…

In the present work we suggest a general covariant theory which can be used to study the stability of any physical system treated geometrically. Stability conditions are connected to the magnitude of the deviation vector. This theory is a…
