Abstract

In this section we illustrate the difference between the two work definitions (2.44) and (2.53) on two specific models. Specifically, we demonstrate validity of the individual formulas presented in Sect. 2.2.3. Moreover, we introduce two examples of externally controlled parameters \({{\varvec{Y}}}(t)\) used in single molecule experiments [1–4].
