Thermodynamics of exponential Kolmogorov–Nagumo averages by Pablo A Morales, Jan Korbel, Fernando E Rosas

“…For the non-equilibrium case, we show that the dynamics of systems described by exponential Kolmogorov–Nagumo averages still observe a second law of thermodynamics and the H-theorem. We further discuss the applications of stochastic thermodynamics in those systems—namely, the validity of fluctuation theorems—and the connection with thermodynamic length.…”
