  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper deals with the study of some irreversible processes like slow heating of a thermodynamic system or of inhomogeneity, i.e. spatially local equilibrium in it, based on the principle of maximum entropy estimation, in a stochastic model.
