The absence of a simple fluctuation-dissipation theorem is a major obstacle for studying systems that are not in thermodynamic equilibrium. We show that for a fluid in a non-equilibrium steady state characterized by a constant temperature…

Nonlinear diffusion $\partial_t \rho = \Delta(\Phi(\rho))$ is considered for a class of nonlinearities $\Phi$. It is shown that for suitable choices of $\Phi$, an associated Lyapunov functional can be interpreted as thermodynamics entropy.…
