We consider an isothermal machine composed of two Brownian particles (say particle A and B) connected by a harmonic spring. A constant load is attached to particle A, and the particle B is trapped in a harmonic confinement whose minimum is…

A paradigm for isothermal, mechanical rectification of stochastic fluctuations is introduced in this paper. The central idea is to transform energy injected by random perturbations into rigid-body rotational kinetic energy. The prototype…
The spreading of a cloud of independent Brownian particles typically proceeds more effectively at higher temperatures, as it derives from the commonly known Sutherland-Einstein relation for systems in thermal equilibrium. Here, we report on…
It is demonstrated that the canonical distribution for a subsystem of a closed system follows directly from the solution of the time-reversible Newtonian equation of motion in which the total energy is strictly conserved. It is shown that…
Stochastic heating is a well-known mechanism through which magnetized particles may be energized by low-frequency electromagnetic waves. In its simplest version, under spatially homogeneous conditions, it is known to be operative only above…
The random batch method [J. Comput. Phys. 400 (2020) 108877] is not only an efficient algorithm for simulation of classical $N$-particle systems and their mean-field limit, but also a new model for interacting particle system that could be…

Heat fluctuations over a time \tau in a non-equilibrium stationary state and in a transient state are studied for a simple system with deterministic and stochastic components: a Brownian particle dragged through a fluid by a harmonic…

This review is devoted to the problem of thermalization in a small isolated conglomerate of interacting constituents. A variety of physically important systems of intensive current interest belong to this category: complex atoms, molecules…
We consider a model of a dynamical Lorentz gaz : a single particle is moving in $\mathbb{R}^d$ through an array of fixed an soft scatterers each possessing an internal degree of freedom coupled to the particle. Assuming the initial velocity…
We study a diffusion approximation for a model of stochastic motion of a particle in one spatial dimension. The velocity of the particle is constant but the direction of the motion undergoes random changes with a Poisson clock. Moreover,…
In this note, we construct a $3$-dimensional generalisation of the Pascal's triangle that we named Pascal's cube, as it has the construction of a cube with entries given by extended binomial coefficients ${}^cC^{a}_{b}$. The Pascal's cube…
We consider a $N$-particle system interacting through the Newtonian potential with a polynomial cut-off in the presence of noise in velocity. We rigorously prove the propagation of chaos for this interacting stochastic particle system.…
We calculate the distribution of electrons in clusters of galaxies, resulting from thermalization processes in the presence of stochastic acceleration due to plasma waves. We show that the electron distribution can deviate from a…
