In this paper we study macroscopic density equations in which the diffusion coefficient depends on a weighted spatial average of the density itself. We show that large differences (not present in the local density-dependence case) appear…

We use the work done on and the heat removed from a system to maintain it in a nonequilibrium steady state for a thermodynamic-like description of such a system as well as of its fluctuations. Based on a generalized Onsager-Machlup theory…

We derive the exact evolution equation for the probability density function of particle displacements generated by arbitrary Gaussian velocity processes, when neither Markovianity and nor stationarity are assumed. Starting from the…

In contrast to equilibrium systems, non-equilibrium steady states depend explicitly on the underlying dynamics. Using Monte Carlo simulations with Metropolis, Glauber and heat bath rates, we illustrate this expectation for an Ising lattice…

Based on a microscopic system reservoir model,where the associated bath is not in thermal equilibrium, we simulate the nonstationary Langevin dynamics and obtained the generalized nonstationary fluctuation dissipation relation (FDR) which…

The mathematical physics of mechanical systems in thermal equilibrium is a well studied, and relatively easy, subject, because the Gibbs distribution is in general an adequate guess for the equilibrium state. On the other hand, the…

We derive a generalization of the Wiener-Khinchin theorem for nonstationary processes by introducing a time-dependent spectral density that is related to the time-averaged power. We use the nonstationary theorem to investigate aging…
