A generalized class of the nonequilibrium state, called the nonequilibrium asymptotic state (NEAS), is proposed. The NEAS is constructed within the framework of Fokker-Planck equations in thermodynamic limit. Besides the usual equilibrium state and nonequilibrium steady state (NESS), the class of NEAS could also cover the nonequilibrium periodic state (NEPS) in which its dynamics shows periodicity, the nonequilibrium quasiperiodic state (NEQPS), and nonequilibrium chaotic state (NECS) in which its dynamics becomes chaotic. Based on the theory of NEAS thermodynamics, the corresponding thermodynamics of different NEASs could also be determined. Finally the interacting Ehrenfest urn ring model is used as an example to illustrate how different kinds of NEAS (equilibrium state, uniform NESS, nonuniform NESS, NEPS) in the three-urn case are identified in our framework. In particular, the thermodynamics of NEPS and its phase transitions to other types of NEAS are studied.
