General theory of static response for markov jump processes
We consider Markov jump processes on a graph described by a rate matrix that depends on
various control parameters. We derive explicit expressions for the static responses of edge …

Dissipation bounds precision of current response to kinetic perturbations
The precision of currents in Markov networks is bounded by dissipation via the so-called
thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR). In our Letter, we demonstrate a similar inequality …
