Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | The first part of the paper is devoted to the foundations, that is the mathematical and physical justification,
of equilibrium statistical mechanics. It is a pedagogical attempt, mostly based on Khinchin’s presentation,
which purpose is to clarify some aspects of the development of statistical mechanics. In the second part,
we discuss some recent developments that appeared out of equilibrium, such as fluctuation theorem and
Jarzynski equality |
