The theory of entropy production in nonequilibrium, Hamiltonian systems, previously described for steady states using partitions of phase space, is here extended to time dependent systems relaxing to equilibrium. We illustrate the main ideas by using a simple multibaker model, with some nonequilibrium initial state, and we study its progress toward equilibrium. The central results are (i) the entropy production is governed by an underlying, exponentially decaying fractal structure in phase space, (ii) the rate of entropy production is largely independent of the scale of resolution used in the partitions, and (iii) the rate of entropy production is in agreement with the predictions of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

Methods are presented to evaluate the entropy production rate in stochastic reactive systems. These methods are shown to be consistent with known results from nonequilibrium chemical thermodynamics. Moreover, it is proved that the time average of the
entropy production rate can be decomposed into the contributions of the cycles obtained from the stoichiometric matrix in both stochastic processes and deterministic systems. These methods are applied to a complex reaction network constructed on the basis of Roesslers reinjection principle and featuring chemical chaos.
This paper presents an {it ab initio} derivation of the expression given by irreversible thermodynamics for the rate of entropy production for different classes of diffusive processes. The first class are Lorentz gases, where non-interacting particle
s move on a spatially periodic lattice, and collide elastically with fixed scatterers. The second class are periodic systems where $N$ particles interact with each other, and one of them is a tracer particle which diffuses among the cells of the lattice. We assume that, in either case, the dynamics of the system is deterministic and hyperbolic, with positive Lyapunov exponents. This work extends methods originally developed for a chaotic two-dimensional model of diffusion, the multi-baker map, to higher dimensional, continuous time dynamical systems appropriate for systems with one or more moving particles. Here we express the rate of entropy production in terms of hydrodynamic measures that are determined by the fractal properties of microscopic hydrodynamic modes that describe the slowest decay of the system to an equilibrium state.
We show that the generalized diffusion coefficient of a subdiffusive intermittent map is a fractal function of control parameters. A modified continuous time random walk theory yields its coarse functional form and correctly describes a dynamical pha
se transition from normal to anomalous diffusion marked by strong suppression of diffusion. Similarly, the probability density of moving particles is governed by a time-fractional diffusion equation on coarse scales while exhibiting a specific fine structure. Approximations beyond stochastic theory are derived from a generalized Taylor-Green-Kubo formula.
The entropy produced when a quantum system is driven away from equilibrium can be decomposed in two parts, one related with populations and the other with quantum coherences. The latter is usually based on the so-called relative entropy of coherence,
a widely used quantifier in quantum resource theories. In this paper we argue that, despite satisfying fluctuation theorems and having a clear resource-theoretic interpretation, this splitting has shortcomings. First, it predicts that at low temperatures the entropy production will always be dominated by the classical term, irrespective of the quantum nature of the process. Second, for infinitesimal quenches, the radius of convergence diverges exponentially as the temperature decreases, rendering the functions non-analytic. Motivated by this, we provide here a complementary approach, where the entropy production is split in a way such that the contributions from populations and coherences are written in terms of a thermal state of a specially dephased Hamiltonian. The physical interpretation of our proposal is discussed in detail. We also contrast the two approaches by studying work protocols in a transverse field Ising chain, and a macrospin of varying dimension.
We present a comprehensive investigation of $epsilon$-entropy, $h(epsilon)$, in dynamical systems, stochastic processes and turbulence. Particular emphasis is devoted on a recently proposed approach to the calculation of the $epsilon$-entropy based o
n the exit-time statistics. The advantages of this method are demonstrated in examples of deterministic diffusive maps, intermittent maps, stochastic self-affine and multi-affine signals and experimental turbulent data. Concerning turbulence, the multifractal formalism applied to the exit time statistics allows us to predict that $h(epsilon)sim epsilon^{-3}$ for velocity time measurement. This power law is independent of the presence of intermittency and has been confirmed by the experimental data analysis. Moreover, we show that the $epsilon$-entropy density of a 3-dimensional velocity field is affected by the correlations induced by the sweeping of large scales.
