The system includes a Klein-Gordon wave equation for a field satisfying spatial periodic boundary conditions, as well as Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic differential equations with finite rank dissipation and stochastic driving terms modeling heat baths. There is an energy flow around the ring. In the case of a linear field with different (fixed) bath temperatures, the energy flow can persist even when the interaction with the baths is turned off. A simple example is given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-04-29T15:06:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82C05", "82C31", "05.10.Gg", "05.20.-y", "05.40.-a", "02.30.Hq", "02.50.Ey" ], "keywords": [ "stochastic wave equation model", "persistent energy flow", "nonequilibrium statistical mechanics", "terms modeling heat", "system modeling heat" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1063/1.4728986", "journal": "Journal of Mathematical Physics", "year": 2012, "month": "Sep", "volume": 53, "number": 9, "pages": 5208 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012JMP....53i5208T" } } }
