The Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism is one of the central tools of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, allowing to derive macroscopic equations of motion from the microscopic dynamics through a systematic coarse-graining…
The Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism is a powerful method for the derivation of mesoscopic and macroscopic theories based on known microscopic equations of motion. It has applications in a large number of areas including fluid…
Cosmology relies on a coarse-grained description of the universe, assumed to be valid on large length scales. However, the nonlinearity of general relativity makes coarse-graining extremely difficult. We here address this problem by…
Developing reduced-order models for turbulent flows, which contain dynamics over a wide range of scales, is an extremely challenging problem. In statistical mechanics, the Mori-Zwanzig (MZ) formalism provides a mathematically formal…
The Mori-Zwanzig projection formalism is widely used in studying systems with many degrees of freedom. We used a system-bath Hamiltonian system to show that the Mori's and Zwanzig's projection procedures are mutual limiting cases of each…
The Mori-Zwanzig formalism is applied to derive an equation for the evolution of linear observables of the overdamped Langevin equation. To illustrate the resulting equation and its use in deriving approximate models, a particular benchmark…
Energy transport equations are derived directly from full molecular dynamics models as coarse-grained description. With the local energy chosen as the coarse-grained variables, we apply the Mori-Zwanzig formalism to derive a reduced model,…
We discuss some mathematical aspects of the Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism. The core of the Mori-Zwanzig formalism is the generalised Langevin equation, which is typically derived from the Dyson-Duhamel identity. We derive the…
Through extended consideration of two wide classes of case studies -- dilute gases and linear systems -- I explore the ways in which assumptions of probability and irreversibility occur in contemporary statistical mechanics, where the…
The entropy definition is deduced by means of (re)deriving the generalized non-linear Langevin equation using Zwanzig projector operator formalism. It is shown to be necessarily related to an invariant measure which, in classical mechanics,…
The transition from reversible microdynamics to irreversible transport can be studied very efficiently with the help of the so-called projection method. We give a concise introduction to that method, illustrate its power by using it to…
Reconstruction of equations of motion from incomplete or noisy data and dimension reduction are two fundamental problems in the study of dynamical systems with many degrees of freedom. For the latter extensive efforts have been made but…
It is a great challenge of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics to calculate entropy production within a microscopic theory. In the framework of linear irreversible thermodynamics, we combine the Mori-Zwanzig-Forster projection operator…
In many time-dependent problems of practical interest the parameters entering the equations describing the evolution of the various quantities exhibit uncertainty. One way to address the problem of how this uncertainty impacts the solution…
In many time-dependent problems of practical interest the parameters and/or initial conditions entering the equations describing the evolution of the various quantities exhibit uncertainty. One way to address the problem of how this…
A careful derivation of the generalized Langevin equation using "Zwanzig flavor" projection operator formalism is presented. We provide arguments why this formalism has better properties compared to alternative projection-operator…
Significant efforts have been devoted in the last decade towards improving the predictivity of coarse-grained models in molecular dynamics simulations and providing a rigorous justification of their use, through a combination of theoretical…
We develop rigorous estimates and provably convergent approximations for the memory integral in the Mori-Zwanzig (MZ) formulation. The new theory is built upon rigorous mathematical foundations and is presented for both state-space and…
We develop a new operator algebraic formulation of the Nakajima-Mori-Zwanzig (NMZ) method of projections. The new theory is built upon rigorous mathematical foundations, and it can be applied to both classical and quantum systems. We show…
This paper proposes an interpretation of quantum mechanics, relying on the time-symmetric stochastic dynamics of quantum particles and on non-classical probability theory. Our main purpose is to demonstrate that the wave function and its…
