Ergodicity: a historical perspective. Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium

Published 2016-04-14Version 1

A view on the physical meaning of the so called ergodic hypothesis: its role on the foundations of equilibrium statistical mechanics in mid '800, its interpretations and hints at its relevance for modern nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Followed by appendices with detailed comments on the original papers.
