The fluctuation-dissipation relation is calculated for a class of stochastic models obeying a master equation. The transition rates are assumed to obey detailed balance also in the presence of a field. It is shown that in general the linear…

We identify the conditions under which a stochastic driving inducing energy changes on a system coupled to a thermal bath can be treated as a work source. When these conditions are met, the work statistics satisfies the Crooks fluctuation…
