We consider the dynamics of the disordered trap model, which is known to be completely out-of-equilibrium and to present strong localization effects in its aging phase. We are interested into the influence of an external force, when it is…
The linear response of non-equilibrium systems with Markovian dynamics satisfies a generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation derived from time symmetry and antisymmetry properties of the fluctuations. The relation involves the sum of two…

There is no simple fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) for nonequilibrium systems. We show that for a fluid in a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) characterized by a constant temperature gradient there is a generalized FDT that relates…

A diffusive system coupled to unequal boundary reservoirs reaches a non-equilibrium steady state. While the full-counting-statistics of current fluctuations in these states are well understood for generic systems, results for steady-state…
We consider simple examples illustrating some new features of the linear response theory developed by Ruelle for dissipative and chaotic systems [{\em J. of Stat. Phys.} {\bf 95} (1999) 393]. In this theory the concepts of linear response,…

We collect recent results on deriving useful response relations also for nonequilibrium systems. The approach is based on dynamical ensembles, determined by an action on trajectory space. (Anti)Symmetry under time-reversal separates two…
The climate belongs to the class of non-equilibrium forced and dissipative systems, for which most results of quasi-equilibrium statistical mechanics, including the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, do not apply. We show for the first time…
The fluctuating dynamics of a network about its stable, noise-free steady state are theoretically investigated. Various causes of non-equilibrium dynamics are identified in terms of the properties and symmetry of the network connections and…
Linear response analysis in the nonequilibrium steady state (Gaussian regime) provides two independent fluctuation-response relations. One, in the form of the symmetric matrix, manifests the departure from the equilibrium formula through…
For systems close to equilibrium, the relaxation properties of measurable physical quantities are described by the linear response theory and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT). Accordingly, the response or the generalized…
The fluctuation-response relation is a fundamental relation that is applicable to systems near equilibrium. On the other hand, when a system is driven far from equilibrium, this relation is violated in general because the detailed-balance…
Understanding how systems respond to external perturbations is fundamental to statistical physics. For systems far from equilibrium, a general framework for response remains elusive. While progress has been made on the linear response of…
Networked dynamical systems, i.e., systems of dynamical units coupled via nontrivial interaction topologies, constitute models of broad classes of complex systems, ranging from gene regulatory and metabolic circuits in our cells to…
The conceptual difference between equilibrium and non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) is well established in physics and chemistry. This distinction, however, is not widely appreciated in dynamical descriptions of biological populations in…
A simple model of charge transport is provided by a classical particle in a smooth random potential and a dissipative coupling to the environment in the form of Markovian noise and friction. The corresponding Non-Equilibrium Steady State…
