Abstract
Linear response theory is a powerful tool for interpreting and predicting the results of macroscopic experiments which measure transport and relaxation properties of non-equilibrium systems. The application of linear response theory proceeds in several steps, each of which yields more useful and detailed information concerning the time dependence of the non-equilibrium system.
