Abstract

In a recent paper [Colangeli and Rondoni, Physica D 241:681, 2011] it was argued that the Fluctuation Relation for the phase space contraction rate Λ could suitably be extended to non-reversible dissipative systems. We review here those arguments, by discussing the properties of a simple irreversible nonequilibrium baker model. We also consider the problem of the extension of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem to dissipative deterministic dynamical systems, which enjoy a nonvanishing average phase space contraction rate. As noted by Ruelle, the statistical features of the perturbation and, in particular, of the relaxation, cannot be understood solely in terms of the unperturbed dynamics on the attractor. Nevertheless, we show that the singular character of the steady state does not constitute a serious limitation in the case of systems with many degrees of freedom. The reason is that one typically deals with projected dynamics, and these are associated with regular probability distributions in the corresponding lower dimensional spaces.
