The electric potential is normally positive outside the cell membrane owing to the active transport of ions. It is a typical nonequilibrium phenomena. We propose a Langevin model with a stochastic boundary condition to simulate the menbrane potential.

Two algorithms are presented for integrating the Langevin dynamics equation with long numerical time steps while treating the mass terms as finite. The development of these methods is motivated by the need for accurate methods for simulating slow processes in polymer systems such as two-site...

We consider a finite region of a d-dimensional lattice of nonlinear Hamiltonian rotators, where neighbouring rotators have opposite (alternated) spins and are coupled by a small potential of size $$\varepsilon ^a,\, a\ge 1/2$$ . We weakly stochastically perturb the system in such a way that each...

We consider the problem of state selection for a stochastic system, initially in an unstable stationary state, when multiple metastable states compete for occupation. The problem is formulated in terms of coupled Langevin equations with Gaussian white noise of strength D. We first discuss some...

We work out the non-equilibrium steady state properties of a harmonic lattice which is connected to heat reservoirs at different temperatures. The heat reservoirs are themselves modeled as harmonic systems. Our approach is to write quantum Langevin equations for the system and solve these to...

The decay of the nonequilibrium spin-spin autocorrelation function is calculated analytically and numerically based on the Langevin dynamics for the spherical Scherrington-Kirkpatrick model (p = 2) of a spin glass in a constant magnetic field at zero temperature. The behavior of the spin system...

Reconstructing free energy profiles is an important problem in bimolecular reactions, protein folding or allosteric conformational changes. Nonequilibrium trajectories are readily measured experimentally, but their statistical significance and relation to equilibrium system properties still call...
