Entropy estimators based on waiting-time distributions for overdamped Langevin dynamics — •Ellen Meyberg and Udo Seifert — II. Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Stuttgart, Deutschland

Stochastic systems are usually only accessible on the meso-scale rather than on the micro-scale leading to the need of an effective, coarse-grained description that is often only partially accessible. Usually, coarse-graining is done by lumping many states together into one compound state. Recently, it has been shown that a complementary coarse-graining based on transitions between Markov states can provide bounds on the entropy production [1]. The logarithmic ratio of waiting-time distributions between two successive transitions in forward and backward direction is a measure of time-irreversibility and thus yields a lower bound on the entropy production. This bound is exact in the case of a uni-cyclic network and can be applied without knowing the steady-state distribution. How can the result obtained for Markov jump processes be applied to an overdamped Langevin dynamics? We explain how transitions can be defined for a continuous dynamics using the milestoning approach [2] and show that the entropy estimator for a uni-cyclic network based on this definition yields the full one.
