Abstract: We study the temporal approach to equilibrium of the Gibbs' and conditional entropies for both invertible deterministic dynamics as well as non-invertible stochastic systems in the presence of white noise. The conditional entropy will either remain constant or monotonically increase to its maximum of zero. However, the Gibbs' entropy may have a variety of patterns of approach to its final value ranging from a monotone increase or decrease to an oscillatory approach. We have illustrated all of these behaviors using examples in which both entropy dynamics can be determined analytically.

Review text

By using the Fokker-Planck equation, one can study the temporal behaviour of the Gibbs' entropy of a nonlinear system disturbed by white noises. This result is refined for the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.
