We analyze the dynamics of a disparate mass binary gas or of a plasma in the homogeneous case, at various time scales, in the framework of the Boltzmann or Fokker–Planck equation. We intend to provide a rigorous foundation to the epochal relaxation phenomenon first pointed out by Grad. From general basic physical hypotheses, we derive the scaling of the equations as a function of the mass ratio of the particles, and we expand the collision operators in powers of this mass ratio. Then, Hilbert or Chapman–Enskog type expansions of the distribution functions allow us to investigate the dynamics of the mixture at various time scales, and we verify that the behavior of the obtained models is coherent with Grad's hypothesis.

In the present study, we have derived an expression for transport coefficients such as viscosity, from the equation of motion of dissipative particles. In the concrete, we have shown the Fokker-Planck equation in phase space, and macroscopic conservation equations such as the equation of continuity and the equation of momentum conservation. The basic equations of the single-particle and pair distribution functions have been derived using the Fokker-Planck equation. The solutions of these distribution functions have approximately been solved by the perturbation method under the assumption of molecular chaos. The expression of the viscosity due to dissipative forces has been obtained using the approximate solutions of the distribution functions. Also, we have conducted non-equilibrium dynamics simulations to investigate the influence of the parameters, which have appeared in defining the equation of motion in the dissipative particle dynamics method.

The normalization condition, average values, and reduced distribution functions can be generalized by fractional integrals. The interpretation of the fractional analog of phase space as a space with noninteger dimension is discussed. A fractional (power) system is described by the fractional powers of coordinates and momenta. These systems can be considered as non-Hamiltonian systems in the usual phase space. The generalizations of the Bogoliubov equations are derived from the Liouville equation for fractional (power) systems. Using these equations, the corresponding Fokker–Planck equation is obtained.

The solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution function of heavy ions in a background of electrons is studied. It is found that quite broad physical conditions on the distribution function (such as the positive requirement and the existence of all velocity moments) are sufficient to eliminate any ambiguity in the time-independent steady-state solutions and to determine a discrete spectrum of the time-dependent Fokker–Planck operator. The more physical case of a Maxwell-Boltzman electron distribution function is treated using the small mass ratio expansion. First-order mass ratio corrections are calculated. A plasma heating application-is suggested.

AbstractWe define a time-changed fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process by composing a fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with the inverse of a subordinator. Properties of the moments of such process are investigated and the existence of the density is shown. We also provide a generalized Fokker-Planck equation for the density of the process.
