The well known heat equation with finite speed of propagation proposed by Cattaneo is obtained by a more general fourth order PDE when a certain (small) parameters is put equal to zero. It seems that this fourth order equation has been…
In this paper, we study the energy decay for the thermoelastic Bresse system in the whole line with two different dissipative mechanism, given by heat conduction (Types I and III). We prove that the decay rate of the solutions are very…
Athermal (i.e. zero-temperature) under-constrained systems are typically floppy, but they can be rigidified by the application of external strain. Following our recently developed analytical theory for the athermal limit, here and in the…

As a first approach to the study of systems coupling finite and infinite dimensional natures, this article addresses the stability of a system of ordinary differential equations coupled with a classic heat equation using a Lyapunov…
We investigate the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of pure decoherence. In a pure decoherence process, the system Hamiltonian is a constant of motion and there is no direct energy exchange between the system and its surroundings.…
This thesis deals with the dynamics of irreversible processes within the context of the general theory of relativity. In particular, we address the problem of the 'infinite' speed of propagation of thermal disturbances in a dissipative…
We analyze the effects of thermal conduction in a relativistic fluid just after its departure from spherical symmetry, on a time scale of the order of relaxation time. Using first order perturbation theory, it is shown that, as in spherical…
We present a stability analysis of the classical ideal gas in a new theory of nonextensive statistics and use the theory to understand the phenomena of negative specific heat in some self-gravitating systems. The stability analysis is made…
We consider a differential model describing nonisothermal fast phase separation processes taking place in a three-dimensional bounded domain. This model consists of a viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation characterized by the presence of an…
We derive general trade-off relations among the power, efficiency, and constancy for two-terminal thermoelectric systems in the linear response regime. Constancy, which quantifies the steadiness of the heat engine, is measured by its…
There is a long-standing question as to whether and to what extent it is possible to describe nonequilibrium systems in stationary states in terms of global thermodynamic functions. The positive answers have been obtained only for…
In this paper, we consider a stabilization problem of a generalized thermoelastic system (the so called $\alpha-\beta$ system) with delay in a part of the coupled system. For each case, we prove the well-posedness of the corresponding…
An inverse problem for a stationary heat transfer process is studied for a totally isolated bar on its lateral surface, made up of two consecutive sections of different, isotropic and homogeneous materials, perfectly assembly, where one of…
Spontaneous transitions between non-equilibrium patterns are characterised by hydrodynamic calculations of ideal straight roll steady state heat convection. The calculations are tested quantitatively against existing experimental data. It…
This note has no new results and is therefore not intended to be submitted to a "research" journal in the foreseeable future, but to be available to the numerous individuals who are interested in this issue. Several of those have approached…
We study the decay of the interatomic force constants (equivalently, the smoothness properties of the dynamical matrix) in perfect crystals both at finite electronic temperature, and for insulators at zero temperature, within the reduced…
We study thermodynamics of entanglement entropy for weakly excited states in certain non-conformal fields theories, whose gravity duals are given by non-conformal Dp-branes. We observe that the entanglement entropy of a sufficiently small…
In order to describe the thermodynamics of the glassy systems it has been recently introduced an extra parameter also called effective temperature which generalizes the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) to systems off-equilibrium and…
We ask what happens when two systems having a nonequilibrium steady state are kept in contact and allowed to exchange a quantity, say mass, which is conserved in the combined system. Will the systems eventually evolve to a new stationary…
