Entropy and hypo-coercive methods in hydrodynamic limits
[ Abstract ]
Relative Entropy and entropy production have been main tools
in obtaining hydrodynamic limits Entropic hypo-coercivity can be used to
extend this method to dynamics with highly degenerate noise. I will
apply it to a chain of anharmonic oscillators immersed in a temperature
gradient. Stationary states of these dynamics are of ’non equilibrium’,
and their entropy production does not allow the application of previous
techniques. These dynamics model microscopically an isothermal
thermodynamic transformation between non-equilibrium stationary states.
