While the dynamical noise is often approximated as white, in many real applications the time correlations of the random forces can actually be significantly long-lived compared to the relaxation times of the driven system. We analyze the effects of temporal correlations in the noise on commonly used measures of irreversibility and demonstrate how the theoretical framework for white noise driven systems naturally generalizes to the case of colored noise. Specifically, we express the auto-correlation function, the area enclosing rates, and mean phase space velocity in terms of solutions of a Lyapunov equation and in terms of their white noise limit values.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-11-14T14:39:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "colored noise", "linear systems", "irreversibility", "white noise driven systems", "white noise limit values" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
