Unified Approach to Thermodynamic Optimization of Generic Objective Functions in the Linear Response Regime
While many efforts have been devoted to optimizing the power output for a finite-time thermodynamic process, thermodynamic optimization under realistic situations is not necessarily concerned with power alone; rather, it may be of great relevance to optimize generic objective functions that are comb...
