Feynman’s Ratchet and Pawl with Ecological Criterion: Optimal Performance versus Estimation with Prior Information

Feynman’s Ratchet and Pawl with Ecological Criterion: Optimal Performance versus Estimation with Prior Information

We study the optimal performance of Feynman’s ratchet and pawl, a paradigmatic model in nonequilibrium physics, using ecological criterion as the objective function. The analysis is performed by two different methods: (i) a two-parameter optimization over internal energy scales; and (ii) a one-param...
