It is demonstrated that there is an inconsistency between the master equation and its associated Fokker-Planck equation for the inhomogeneous process whose transition rates depend on the state variable. This inconsistency results from an unjustified assumption adopted since Planck in 19 17. An alter

β¦ Synopsis
A theory describing mesoscopic equilibrium and near-equilibrium behavior of polar solutions near electrochemical interfaces is presented. It is based on an expression for the stress tensor found within the framework of a non-local Landau order parameter approach which takes into account the possibility of continuous surface phase transitions in the double layer. Some applications of the theory are discussed, including the generalization of the contact value theorem used in the theory of colloids and thin films and the interpretation of the singular behavior of the surface viscosity and capacitance.

One of the basic tenets of interface design is that an interface should be "consistent". However, the meaning of the term remains elusive. Several attempts have been made to represent consistency (and inconsistency) formally. Although each formalism has built on its predecessors to increase our unde
