Nosé–Hoover nonequilibrium dynamics and statistical mechanics

At equilibrium Nosé's 1984 revolutionary thermostat idea linked Newton's mechanics with Gibbs' statistical mechanics. His work expanded the scope of isothermal and isobaric simulations. Nosé–Hoover dynamics has subsequently facilitated the simulation and detailed understanding of nonequilibrium problems. The fractal phase-space distributions, and their close link to the Lyapunov spectrum, provide a novel explanation of irreversibility and a rich field for exploration.
