The Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Linear Irreversible Processes
Description
It is shown that Onsager’s principle of the least dissipation of energy is equivalent
to the maximum entropy production principle. It is known that solutions of the linearized
Boltzmann's equation makes extrema of entropy production. It is argued, in the case of
stationary processes, that this extremum is a maximum rather than a minimum.
