Abstract

We propose a stochastic dynamics to be associated to a deterministic motion defined by a set of first order differential equation. The transitions that defined the stochastic dynamics are unidirectional and the rates are equal to the absolute value of the velocity vector field associate to the deterministic motion. From the stochastic dynamics we determine the entropy production and the entropy flux. This last quantity is found to be the negative of the divergence of the velocity vector field. In the case of a Hamiltonian dynamics it vanishes identically.
