Fluctuation driven ratchets: Molecular motors
The motion of a heavily damped Brownian particle in a periodic potential subject to a dichotomously fluctuating perturbation is considered. We show that even if the net force is...
Irreversibility and Generalized Noise
A relation is obtained between the generalized resistance and the fluctuations of the generalized forces in linear dissipative systems. This relation forms the extension of the ...
Novel Type of Phase Transition in a System of Self-Driven Particles
A simple model with a novel type of dynamics is introduced in order to investigate the emergence of self-ordered motion in systems of particles with biologically motivated inter...
Generalized Theory of Thermal Fluctuations
A general theory of thermal fluctuations, or Brownian motions, in a system in thermal equilibrium is developed on the basis of Gibbs's classical statistical mechanics. Taking ad...
Dynamical Theories of Brownian Motion
These notes are based on a course of lectures given by Professor Nelson at Princeton during the spring term of 1966. The subject of Brownian motion has long been of interest in ...
