Inspired by responses to the work (arXiv:1310.6514), we solved the one-dimensional, nonlinear Fourier initial and boundary condition problem using the finite element method. Examination of all possible parameters reveals the following: 1.…

We present an exactly solvable model of the Mpemba effect in an overdamped Langevin system confined in a two-dimensional radially symmetric bistable potential. The potential is constructed as a piecewise quadratic-logarithmic function that…

The effect of interactions on a system of fermions that are in a non-equilibrium steady state due to a quantum quench is studied employing the random-phase-approximation (RPA). As a result of the quench, the distribution function of the…

Anomalous thermal relaxation is ubiquitous in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. An emblematic example of this is the Mpemba effect, where an initially ``hot'' system cools faster than an initially ``cooler'' one. This effect has…

When a hot system cools down faster than an equivalent cold one, it exhibits the Mpemba Effect. This counterintuitive phenomenon was observed in several systems including water, magnetic alloys and polymers. In most experiments the system…

We study a class of non-equilibrium quasi-stationary states for a Markov system interacting with two different thermal baths. We show that the work done under a slow, external change of parameters admits a potential, i.e., the free energy.…

As the temperature of a cooling object decreases as it relaxes to thermal equilibrium, it is intuitively assumed that a hot object should take longer to cool than a warm one. Yet, some 2,300 years ago, Aristotle observed that "to cool hot…
