Query: Boundary layers in stochastic thermodynamics   We study the problem of optimizing released heat or dissipated work in
stochastic thermodynamics. In the overdamped limit these functionals have
singular solutions, previously interpreted as protocol jumps. We show that a
regularization, penalizing a properly defined acceleration, changes the jumps
into boundary layers of finite width. We show that in the limit of vanishing
boundary layer width no heat is dissipated in the boundary layer, while work
can be done. We further give a new interpretation of the fact that the optimal
protocols in the overdamped limit are given by optimal deterministic transport
(Burgers equation).
