Title: Information loss and entropy production during dissipative processes in a macroscopic system kicked out of the equilibrium

Peter Burgholzer

Comments: 23 pages, 12 figures; Fluctuations have been widely studied for small systems composed of a limited, small number of particles, as is typical for matter on meso- and nanoscales. In this article it is demonstrated that also for macroscopic systems these results are very relevant, if inverse problems are involved. Then the small fluctuations for macroscopic systems are 'amplified exponentially'
