Nonstationary Stochastic Dynamics and Applications to Chemical Physics

  • Chapter
Theoretical Methods in Condensed Phase Chemistry

Part of the book series: Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics ((PTCP,volume 5))

Abstract

A new approach to understanding nonstationary processes has recently been developed through the use of the so-called irreversible generalized Langevin equation (iGLE). The iGLE model can accommodate nonstationary changes in temperature and the friction strength of the environment. These changes may be coupled to macroscopic averages of the environment as induced by the collective motion of many equivalent tagged particles. As these environments may not be identical, the WiGLE model has also been developed, and it accounts for heterogeneous environments, each of which is coupled to a set of w neighbors. Possible applications of these models include the chemical reaction dynamics of thermosetting polymers and living polymers, and the folding dynamics of proteins.
