Abstract
We study the nontrivial thermodynamic responses of an overdamped Brownian system driven by an unbiased driving force when the particle is confined inside a bilobal irregular structure. The spatial irregularity of the confinement results in an effective entropic bistable potential along the direction of transport. We calculate the thermodynamic response functions in terms of the averaged work done and the absorbed heat over a cycle of driving. We find that the thermodynamic responses are influenced by the nonlinearity of the effective entropic potential, the frequency of the external periodic driving force, and the random thermal fluctuations in a nontrivial way. In the presence of an optimal amount of thermal noise and a favoring driving frequency, the process exhibits a resonance-like precedent in terms of both output work and absorbed heat. We explore the conditions to get best synchronized work extraction (or absorbed heat), which can be utilized as a potential quantifier of an entropic stochastic resonance phenomenon. Finally, we identify a hallmark of entropy dominance over an analogous energy-driven scenario in terms of output work.

Abstract
We investigate a geometric Brownian information engine (GBIE) in the presence of an error-free feedback controller that transforms the information gathered on the state of Brownian particles entrapped in monolobal geometric confinement into extractable work. Outcomes of the information engine depend on the reference measurement distance x_{m}, the feedback site x_{f}, and the transverse force G. We determine the benchmarks for utilizing the available information in an output work and the optimum operating requisites for best achievable work. Transverse bias force (G) tunes the entropic contribution in the effective potential and hence the standard deviation (σ) of the equilibrium marginal probability distribution. We recognize that the amount of extractable work reaches a global maximum when x_{f}=2x_{m} with x_{m}∼0.6σ, irrespective of the extent of the entropic limitation. Because of the higher loss of information during the relaxation process, the best achievable work of a GBIE is lower in an entropic system. The feedback regulation also bears the unidirectional passage of particles. The average displacement increases with growing entropic control and is maximum when x_{m}∼0.81σ. Finally, we explore the efficacy of the information engine, a quantity that regulates the efficiency in utilizing the information acquired. With x_{f}=2x_{m}, the maximum efficacy reduces with increasing entropic control and shows a crossover from 2 to 11/9. We discover that the condition for the best efficacy depends only on the confinement lengthscale along the feedback direction. The broader marginal probability distribution accredits the increased average displacement in a cycle and the lower efficacy in an entropy-dominated system.

Abstract
We investigate the first passage properties of a Brownian particle diffusing freely inside a d-dimensional sphere with absorbing spherical surface subject to stochastic resetting. We derive the mean time to absorption (MTA) as functions of resetting rate γ and initial distance r of the particle to the center of the sphere. We find that when r>r_{c} there exists a nonzero optimal resetting rate γ_{opt} at which the MTA is a minimum, where r_{c}=sqrt[d/(d+4)]R and R is the radius of the sphere. As r increases, γ_{opt} exhibits a continuous transition from zero to nonzero at r=r_{c}. Furthermore, we consider that the particle lies between two two-dimensional or three-dimensional concentric spheres with absorbing boundaries, and obtain the domain in which resetting expedites the MTA, which is (R_{1},r_{c_{1}})∪(r_{c_{2}},R_{2}), with R_{1} and R_{2} being the radii of inner and outer spheres, respectively. Interestingly, when R_{1}/R_{2} is less than a critical value, γ_{opt} exhibits a discontinuous transition at r=r_{c_{1}}; otherwise, such a transition is continuous. However, at r=r_{c_{2}} the transition is always continuous.

Abstract
We design a geometric Brownian information engine by considering overdamped Brownian particles inside a two-dimensional monolobal confinement with irregular width along the transport direction. Under such detention, particles experience an effective entropic potential which has a logarithmic form. We employ a feedback control protocol as an outcome of error-free position measurement. The protocol comprises three stages: measurement, feedback, and relaxation. We reposition the center of the confinement to the measurement distance (xp) instantaneously when the position of the trapped particle crosses xp for the first time. Then, the particle is allowed for thermal relaxation. We calculate the extractable work, total information, and unavailable information associated with the feedback control using this equilibrium probability distribution function. We find the exact analytical value of the upper bound of extractable work as (53-2ln2)kBT. We introduce a constant force G downward to the transverse coordinate (y). A change in G alters the effective potential of the system and tunes the relative dominance of entropic and energetic contributions in it. The upper bound of the achievable work shows a crossover from (53-2ln2)kBT to 12kBT when the system changes from an entropy-dominated regime to an energy-dominated one. Compared to an energetic analog, the loss of information during the relaxation process is higher in the entropy-dominated region, which accredits the less value in achievable work. Theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the Langevin dynamics simulation studies.

Abstract
We consider local heating of a part of a two-dimensional bilobal enclosure of a varying cross section confining a system of overdamped Brownian particles. Since varying cross section in higher dimension results in an entropic potential in lower dimension, local heating alters the relative stability of the entropic states. We show that this blow-torch effect modifies the entropic potential in a significant way so that the resultant effective entropic potential carries both the features of variation of width of the confinement and variation of temperature along the direction of transport. The reduced probability distribution along the direction of transport calculated by full numerical simulations in two dimensions agrees well with our analytical findings. The extent of population transfer in the steady state quantified in terms of the integrated probability of residence of the particles in either of the two lobes exhibits interesting variation with the mean position of the heated region. Our study reveals that heating around two particular zones of a given lobe maximizes population transfer to the other.

Abstract
The states of an overdamped Brownian particle confined in a two-dimensional bilobal enclosure are considered to correspond to two binary values: 0 (left lobe) and 1 (right lobe). An ensemble of such particles represents bits of entropic information. An external bias is applied on the particles, equally distributed in two lobes, to drive them to a particular lobe erasing one kind of bit of information. It has been shown that the average work done for the entropic memory erasure process approaches the Landauer bound for a very slow erasure cycle. Furthermore, the detailed Jarzynski equality holds to a very good extent for the erasure protocol, so that the Landauer bound may be calculated irrespective of the time period of the erasure cycle in terms of the effective free-energy change for the process. The detailed Jarzynski equality applied to two subprocesses, namely the transition from entropic memory state 0 to state 1 and the transition from entropic memory state 1 to state 1, connects the work done on the system to the probability to occupy the two states under a time-reversed process. In the entire treatment, the work appears as a boundary effect of the physical confinement of the system not having a conventional potential energy barrier. Finally, an analytical derivation of the detailed and classical Jarzynski equality for Brownian movement in confined space with varying width has been proposed. Our analytical scheme supports the numerical simulations presented in this paper.

Abstract
We consider the stochastic response of a nonlinear dynamical system towards a combination of input signals. The response can assume binary values if the state of the system is considered to be the output and the system can make transitions between two states separated by an energetic or entropic barrier. We show how the input-output correspondence can be controlled by an external exponentially correlated dichotomous noise optimizing the logical response which exhibits a maximum at an intermediate value of correlation time. This resonance manifests itself as a "logical" resonance correlation effect and sets the condition for performance of the stochastic system as a logic gate. The role of asymmetry of the dichotomous noise is examined and the results on numerical simulations are correlated with a two-state model using a master equation approach.

Abstract
Transport of overdamped Brownian particles in a two-dimensional channel with nonstraight midline and narrow varying width is investigated in the presence of an asymmetric unbiased external force. In the adiabatic limit, we obtain the analytical expression of the directed current. It is found that the current is manipulated by changing the phase shift between the top and bottom walls of the channel. As the phase shift is increased from 0 to π, the variation of the channel width decreases and the current also decreases. Remarkably, the current is always zero when the phase shift is equal to π, where the entropic barrier disappears. In addition, the temporal asymmetric parameter of the unbiased force not only determines the direction of the current but also affects its amplitude.

Abstract
We consider a Brownian particle that is confined in a two-dimensional enclosure and driven by a combination of input signals. It has been shown that the logic gates can be formed by considering the state of the particle experiencing an entropic barrier as the output signal. For a consistent logical output, it is necessary to optimize the strength of the noise driving the particle for a given system size. The variation of the logical output behavior exhibits a turnover at an optimal value of system size parameter, implying a size resonance condition in entropic transport. The role of a transverse bias field used to tune the transport between the entropy dominated regime and the energy dominated regime is elucidated.

Abstract
We show that the application of a time periodic field driving a Brownian particle between the two lobes of a two-dimensional bilobal enclosure results in a hysteresis loop in the variation of integrated probability of residence of the particle as a function of the field. The confinement of the particle is characterized by symmetry breaking of the hysteresis loop, and the area of the loop exhibits a turnover with variation of frequency of the field. This dynamical hysteresis is geometry controlled, entropic in nature, and amenable to theoretical analysis with a two-state model.

Abstract
Brownian particles confined in a two-dimensional enclosure that give rise to a bistable entropic potential are considered. With the introduction of an intermediate lobe, the mean first passage time from one lobe to another through the intermediate shows a turnover behavior with the variation of the stability of the entropic intermediate. The mean escape time shows a minimum for an optimal value of the barrier height of the intermediate state. A three-state model is proposed to explain the nonmonotonic behavior of the entropic transport.
