Analytic solution for heat flow through a general harmonic network
We present an analytic expression for the heat current through a general harmonic network coupled with Ohmic reservoirs. We use a method that enables us to express the stationary state of the network in terms of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a generalized cubic eigenvalue problem. In this way,...

Analytic solution Flowthrough Harmonic networks We present an analytic expression for the heat current through a general harmonic network coupled with Ohmic reservoirs.
