We describe how algorithms were developed and how they were proved to be correct. We also describe the impact that the mathematical study of chaos has had on nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. We briefly describe new mathematical relationships between transport processes, the Second Law of Thermodynamics and chaotic measures.137085 bytesapplication/pdfen-AULyapunov instabilitychaosnonequilibrium statistical mechanicslinear dependent response theory,fluctuation theorem2000
