Game theory is one of the key paradigms behind many scientific disciplines from biology to
behavioral sciences to economics. In its evolutionary form and especially when the …

In the so-called “microscopic” models of vehicular traffic, attention is paid explicitly to each
individual vehicle each of which is represented by a “particle”; the nature of the “interactions” …

Roughly at the time (1987) when the manuscript for the first three chapters of the present
book was completed, several breakthroughs occurred. They had a profound influence on the …

In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

The study of open quantum systems often relies on approximate master equations derived
under the assumptions of weak coupling to the environment. However when the system is …

We consider the general problem of determining the steady state of stochastic
nonequilibrium systems such as those that have been used to model (among other things) …

Abstract Information is physical, a realization that has transformed the physics of
measurement and communication. However, the flow between information, energy and …

We investigate theoretically and via computer simulation the stationary nonequilibrium
states of a stochastic lattice gas under the influence of a uniform external field E. The effect …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the systems coupled to two reservoirs of energy
in such a way that there is a steady energy flow through the system. An example is a resistor …

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 …
