Generalized integral fluctuation relation with feedback control for diffusion processes

Abstract

We extend a generalized integral fluctuation relation in diffusion processes that we obtained previously to the situation with feedback control. The general relation not only covers existing results but also predicts other unnoticed fluctuation relations. In addition, we find that its explanation of time-reversal automatically emerges in the derivation. This interesting observation leads into an alternative inequality about the entropy-like quantity with an improved lower bound. Two feedback-controlled Brownian models are used to verify the result.
