Macroscopic stochastic thermodynamics

G Falasco, M Esposito - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2025 - APS
Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, the scaling conditions that ensure the emergence of a …

Frenesy: Time-symmetric dynamical activity in nonequilibria

C Maes - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the concept of dynamical ensembles in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as
specified from an action functional or Lagrangian on spacetime. There, under local detailed …

Interacting Langevin diffusions: Gradient structure and ensemble Kalman sampler

A Garbuno-Inigo, F Hoffmann, W Li, AM Stuart - SIAM Journal on Applied …, 2020 - SIAM
Solving inverse problems without the use of derivatives or adjoints of the forward model is
highly desirable in many applications arising in science and engineering. In this paper we …

[BOOK][B] Multiscale thermo-dynamics: introduction to GENERIC

M Pavelka, V Klika, M Grmela - 2018 - books.google.com
One common feature of new emerging technologies is the fusion of the very small (nano)
scale and the large scale engineering. The classical environment provided by single scale …

On the geometry of Stein variational gradient descent

A Duncan, N Nüsken, L Szpruch - Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2023 - jmlr.org
Bayesian inference problems require sampling or approximating high-dimensional
probability distributions. The focus of this paper is on the recently introduced Stein …

Variational Onsager Neural Networks (VONNs): A thermodynamics-based variational learning strategy for non-equilibrium PDEs

S Huang, Z He, C Reina - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2022 - Elsevier
We propose a thermodynamics-based learning strategy for non-equilibrium evolution
equations based on Onsager's variational principle, which allows us to write such PDEs in …

Affine invariant interacting Langevin dynamics for Bayesian inference

A Garbuno-Inigo, N Nüsken, S Reich - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical …, 2020 - SIAM
We propose a computational method (with acronym ALDI) for sampling from a given target

Jump processes as generalized gradient flows

MA Peletier, R Rossi, G Savaré, O Tse - Calculus of Variations and Partial …, 2022 - Springer
We have created a functional framework for a class of non-metric gradient systems. The
state space is a space of nonnegative measures, and the class of systems includes the …

Large deviations and dynamical phase transitions in stochastic chemical networks
