Abstract

On the basis of a complete system of fluctuation-dissipation relations, considered in the first part of this series, a variational principle for nonlinear irreversible processes is derived. According to this principle the virtual entropy production functional (analogous to the action in mechanics) has an absolute minimum meaning on the real trajectory of a system. The universal structure of the “kinetic potential” and the “lagrangian” of a system, each contain complete information about fluctuations of macrovariables. The connection of the lagrangian with the markovian kinetic operator of macrovariables is stated. Fundamental properties of dissipative potentials, reflecting microscopic reversibility, are considered. The derived variational principle can be applied to closed systems (the steady state of which is equilibrium) as well as to open ones (when external dynamic forces cause entropy flux through the system and put it into a steady non-equilibrium state). Canonical transformations of macrovariables are considered.
