Ergodicity of some open systems with particle-disk interactions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider steady states for a class of mechanical systems with particle-disk interactions coupled to two, possibly unequal, heat baths. We show that any steady state that satisfies some natural assumptions is ergodic and absolutely continuous with respect to a Lebesgue-type reference measure and conclude that there exists at most one absolutely continuous steady state.


Considering steady states for a class of mechanical systems with particle-disk interactions coupled of two, possibly unequal, heat baths, the author manages to prove that a steady state that satisfies some natural assumptions is ergodic and absolutely continuous with respect to a Lebesgue-type measure. In particular, the paper provides conditions under which an invariant measure is ergodic and absolutely continuous with respect to a natural reference measure and, moreover, that there exists at most one absolutely continuous steady state.
