Abstract
To explore the bound to the entropy production, we study the case of a discrete flashing ratchet model, where we can compare the entropy production with the analytical value and the empirical estimations of the KLD. With this model, we can analyze how information losses affect the estimation of the KLD and the tightness of the bound for the entropy production.
