Thermodynamics and fluctuations far from equilibrium -- Dissipation and efficiency in autonomous and externally forced reactions, including several biochemical systems -- Stochastic theory and fluctuations in systems far from equilibrium, including disordered systems

Sommario/riassunto

This work deals with the formulation of the thermodynamics of chemical and other systems far from equilibrium, including connections to fluctuations. It contains applications to non-equilibrium stationary states and approaches to such states, systems with multiple stationary states, reaction diffusion systems, and more
