A deterministic entropy to monitor the evolution of microscopically simulated far-from-equilibrium structures (Q1432964)

A new attempt based on a technical improvement of an idea of Boltzmann, namely, his famous \(H\)-function is discussed. A new observable of microscopic phase space is discussed as well. This observables enables one to monitor and better understand in detail the approach of a far-from-equilibrium system towards its bottom line. A calculation of the underlying Hamiltonian dynamics with an exactly reversible algorithm will make it possible to go back and forth along a single microtrajectory of the system at hand.
