  2. Back-reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-reaction

    (which comes from the non-linearity of Einstein field equations) and the dynamical evolution of spatial slices of space-time. [1] As of 2017, the role of backreaction in possibly leading to an alternative to dark energy is an open question of debate among cosmologists.

  3. Microscopic reversibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_reversibility

    The Newton and the Schrödinger equations in the absence of the macroscopic magnetic fields and in the inertial frame of reference are T-invariant: if X(t) is a solution then X(-t) is also a solution (here X is the vector of all dynamic variables, including all the coordinates of particles for the Newton equations and the wave function in the configuration space for the Schrödinger equation).

  4. Time reversibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_reversibility

    A mathematical or physical process is time-reversible if the dynamics of the process remain well-defined when the sequence of time-states is reversed.. A deterministic process is time-reversible if the time-reversed process satisfies the same dynamic equations as the original process; in other words, the equations are invariant or symmetrical under a change in the sign of time.

  5. Poincaré recurrence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_recurrence_theorem

    The Poincaré recurrence time is the length of time elapsed until the recurrence. This time may vary greatly depending on the exact initial state and required degree of closeness. The result applies to isolated mechanical systems subject to some constraints, e.g., all particles must be bound to a finite volume.

  6. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    First order LTI systems are characterized by the differential equation + = where τ represents the exponential decay constant and V is a function of time t = (). The right-hand side is the forcing function f(t) describing an external driving function of time, which can be regarded as the system input, to which V(t) is the response, or system output.

  7. Fermi's golden rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi's_golden_rule

    In quantum physics, Fermi's golden rule is a formula that describes the transition rate (the probability of a transition per unit time) from one energy eigenstate of a quantum system to a group of energy eigenstates in a continuum, as a result of a weak perturbation.

  8. Detailed balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detailed_balance

    A Markov process is called a reversible Markov process or reversible Markov chain if there exists a positive stationary distribution π that satisfies the detailed balance equations [13] =, where P ij is the Markov transition probability from state i to state j, i.e. P ij = P(X t = j | X t − 1 = i), and π i and π j are the equilibrium probabilities of being in states i and j, respectively ...

  9. Allen–Cahn equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen–Cahn_equation

    A numerical solution to the one dimensional Allen-Cahn equation. The Allen–Cahn equation (after John W. Cahn and Sam Allen) is a reaction–diffusion equation of mathematical physics which describes the process of phase separation in multi-component alloy systems, including order-disorder transitions.
