Ruppeiner geometry

Riemannian geometry

Ruppeiner geometry is thermodynamic geometry (a type of information geometry) using the language of Riemannian geometry to study thermodynamics. George Ruppeiner proposed it in 1979. He claimed that thermodynamic systems can be represented by Riemannian geometry, and that statistical properties can be derived from the model. This geometrical model is based on the inclusion of the theory of fluctuations into the axioms of equilibrium thermodynamics, namely, there exist equilibrium states which can be represented by points on two-dimensional surface (manifold) and the distance between these equilibrium states is related to the fluctuation between them. This concept is associated to probabilities, i.e. the less probable a fluctuation between states, the further apart they are. This can be recognized if one considers the metric tensor gij in the distance formula (line element) between the two equilibrium states where the matrix of coefficients gij is the symmetric metric tensor which is called a Ruppeiner metric, defined as a negative Hessian of the entropy function where U is the internal energy (mass) of the system and Na refers to the extensive parameters of the system. Mathematically, the Ruppeiner geometry is one particular type of information geometry and it is similar to the metric used in mathematical statistics. The Ruppeiner metric can be understood as the thermodynamic limit (large systems limit) of the more general Fisher information metric. For small systems (systems where fluctuations are large), the Ruppeiner metric may not exist, as second derivatives of the entropy are not guaranteed to be non-negative. The Ruppeiner metric is conformally related to the Weinhold metric via where T is the temperature of the system under consideration. Proof of the conformal relation can be easily done when one writes down the first law of thermodynamics (dU=TdS+...) in differential form with a few manipulations. The Weinhold geometry is also considered as a thermodynamic geometry. It is defined as a Hessian of the internal energy with respect to entropy and other extensive parameters. It has long been observed that the Ruppeiner metric is flat for systems with noninteracting underlying statistical mechanics such as the ideal gas. Curvature singularities signal critical behaviors. In addition, it has been applied to a number of statistical systems including Van der Waals gas. Recently the anyon gas has been studied using this approach. (Wikipedia).

The Routh-Hurwitz Stability Criterion

In this video we explore the Routh Hurwitz Stability Criterion and investigate how it can be applied to control systems engineering. The Routh Hurwitz Stability Criterion can be used to determine how many roots of a polynomial are in the right half plane. Topics and time stamps: 0:00 –
