Rayleigh-Ritz Calculation of Effective Potential Far From Equilibrium
  We demonstrate the utility of a Rayleigh-Ritz scheme recently proposed to compute the nonequilibrium effective potential nonperturbatively in a strong noise regime far from equilibrium. A simple Kramers model of an ionic conductor is used to illustrate the efficiency of the method.
