Work, Entropy Production, and Thermodynamics of Information under Protocol Constraints

In many real-world situations, there are constraints on the ways in which a physical system can be manipulated. We investigate the entropy production (EP) and extractable work involved in bringing a system from some initial distribution p to some final distribution p^{′}, given that the set of maste...
