The non-equilibrium thermodynamics approach to the dynamics of mesoscopic systems [Elektronische Daten] [J. M. Rubi] We show that the method of non-equilibrium thermodynamics can be applied to describe the behaviour of systems defined at the meso-scale whose dynamics is mediated by the presence of fluctuations. The mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics approach we propose yields the kinetic equations for the evolution of the probability density governing the dynamics. We present applications to different mesoscopic systems undergoing linear and nonlinear transport and activated processes.
