Abstract
⺠First-principles derivation of the entropy production in electric static conduction. ⺠The second-order (symmetric) density matrix contributes to the entropy production. ⺠New schemes of steady states formulated using a relaxation-type von Newmann equation. ⺠Stationary temperature is introduced to characterize steady states. ⺠The mechanism of the entropy production in steady states is also clarified.
