Abstract

Landauer-type bounds establish the minimal dissipation required by logically irreversible information processing. This paper addresses a long-horizon question in finite-power systems that repeatedly execute irreversible closure events... we derive an integrated coercivity inequality that lower-bounds time-integrated per-closure dissipation by the time-integrated residue.
