We demonstrate the existence of a very general correlation function which describes the relaxation phenomena. Such function is even; therefore, it cannot be an exponential or a stretched exponential. However, for a proper choice of the parameters, those functions can be reproduced within certain intervals with good precision. We also show the passage from the non-Markovian to the Markovian behaviour in the normal diffusion regime. For times longer than the relaxation time, the correlation function for anomalous diffusion becomes a power law for broad-band noise.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-05-04T13:31:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "non-exponential relaxation", "general correlation function", "normal diffusion regime", "markovian behaviour", "generalized langevin equation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
