The physics and mathematics of living and dying matter (2507.14294v1)
Published 18 Jul 2025 in cond-mat.soft and physics.bio-ph
Abstract: We introduce and study a class of active matter models in which we keep track of fuel (stored energy) consumption. They are by construction, thermodynamically consistent. Using these models it is possible for us to observe and follow how active behaviour develops and also how it dissipates as the energy runs out. It is also straightforward to define, calculate and keep track of macroscopic thermodynamic quantities.
