Probability Seminar: Stochastic wave equation models for heat-flow in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics
- Date: 10/28/2009
Lecturer(s):
Lawrence Thomas (University of Virginia)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Description:
We will describe a current approach to understanding stationary states in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We will then consider two examples: a system of stochastic differential equations for coupled oscillators, and a stochastic wave equation. Stationary states for these examples exhibit steady state energy flow.
Schedule:
