Abstract
- The fluctuations of global variables in out of equilibrium systems are a subject of current investigation ranging from dynamical systems theory to stochastic systems. There are only a few theoretical results which predict several properties of these fluctuations. This is the case, for example of the Fluctuation Theorem (FT). In this paper we mainly consider out of equilibrium stochastic systems. We summarize the theoretical results which can be applied both to a Brownian particle and a electric circuits driven out of equilibrium. As an example we describe an experiment where the fluctuations of the injected and dissipated powers have been measured. We find the theoretical predictions are verified. The applications of these results to more complex cases is discussed. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
