Abstract:

A set of reversible equations for F1, the first distribution function and g, the correlation function, are derived for the weak force case. The forward motion, i.e., development in time from uncorrelated initial conditions, and the corresponding reverse motion are examined. In the forward motion the equation for F1 evolves into the Fokker-Planck equation while in the corresponding reverse motion F1 is described by an antiFokker-Planck equation. Author
