  "abstract": "The dynamics of free vibrations of a chain of atoms is investigated taking into account the retardation of interactions. It is shown that all oscillations of the circuit are damped. The dynamics of forced vibrations of this chain of atoms is investigated. It is shown that, regardless of the initial conditions, the system passes into a stationary state of dynamic equilibrium with an external field, which depends both on the properties of the system and on the parameters of the external field. A non-statistical dynamic mechanism of the process of irreversible establishment of the state of thermodynamic equilibrium in both many-body and few-body systems is proposed.",
