We study systems with Hamiltonian dynamics type coupled to reservoirs providing free energy which may be converted into acceleration. In the first part we introduce general concepts, like canonical dissipative systems and find exact solutions of associated Fokker–Planck equations that describe time evolutions of systems at hand. Next we analyze dynamics in ratchets with energy support which might be treated by perturbation theory around canonical dissipative systems. Finally we discuss possible applications of these ratchet systems to model the mechanism of biological energy conversion and molecular motors.

Abstract

We study systems with Hamiltonian dynamics type coupled to reservoirs providing free energy which may be converted into acceleration. In the first part we introduce general concepts, like canonical dissipative systems and find exact solutions of associated Fokker–Planck equations that describe time evolutions of systems at hand. Next we analyze dynamics in ratchets with energy support which might be treated by perturbation theory around canonical dissipative systems. Finally we discuss possible applications of these ratchet systems to model the mechanism of biological energy conversion and molecular motors.
