# Memory loss for nonequilibrium open dynamical systems

• We introduce a notion of conditional memory loss for nonequilibrium open dynamical systems. We prove that this type of memory loss occurs at an exponential rate for nonequilibrium open systems generated by one-dimensional piecewise-differentiable expanding Lasota-Yorke maps. This result may be viewed as a prototype for time-dependent dynamical systems with holes.
