Abstract
Entropy production is one of the most important characteristics of nonequilibrium steady states. We study here the steady-state entropy production, both at short times as well as in the long-time limit, of two important classes of nonequilibrium systems: transport systems and reaction-diffusion systems. The usefulness of the mean entropy production rate and of the large deviation function of the entropy production for characterizing nonequilibrium steady states of interacting many-body systems is discussed. We show that the large deviation function displays a kink-like feature at zero entropy production that is similar to that observed for a single particle driven along a periodic potential. This kink is a direct consequence of the detailed fluctuation theorem fulfilled by the probability distribution of the entropy production and is therefore a generic feature of the corresponding large deviation function.

- In most of these papers the authors did not discuss the kink explicitly. However, in all cases the existence of the kink can either be derived from the exact expressions given for the large deviation functions or it can be inferred from the numerical data shown in various figures.
