Jarzyski’s Equality and Crooks’ Fluctuation Theorem for General Markov Chains with Application to Decision-Making Systems
We define common thermodynamic concepts purely within the framework of general Markov chains and derive Jarzynski’s equality and Crooks’ fluctuation theorem in this setup. In particular, we regard the discrete-time case, which leads to an asymmetry in the definition of work that appears in the usual...
