论文摘要
热力学对物理问题的吸引力是不可否认的,人们对其明显的普遍性的认识日益认识,但是在没有严格的形式主义与分子系统的特殊性离婚的情况下,所有试图概括热力学的尝试仍然是定性和启发式方法。在本文中,我们制定了热力学的概率理论,并为其在通用随机种群中的应用树立了基础。
The appeal of thermodynamics to problems outside physics is undeniable, as is the growing recognition of its apparent universality, yet in the absence of a rigorous formalism divorced from the peculiarities of molecular systems all attempts to generalize thermodynamics remain qualitative and heuristic at best. In this paper we formulate a probabilistic theory of thermodynamics and and set the basis for its application to generic stochastic populations.
