In this work, we derive the Langevin equation (LE) of a classical spin interacting with a heat bath through momentum variables, starting from the fully dynamical Hamiltonian description. The derived LE with anomalous dissipation is analyzed in detail. The obtained LE is non-Markovian with multiplicative noise terms. The concomitant dissipative terms obey the fluctuation–dissipation theorem. The Markovian limit correctly produces the Kubo and Hashitsume equation. The perturbative treatment of our equations produces the Landau–Lifshitz equation and the Seshadri–Lindenberg equation. Then we derive the Fokker–Planck equation corresponding to LE and the concept of equilibrium probability distribution is analyzed.

Abstract We show how a relativistic Langevin equation can be derived from a Lorentz-covariant version of the Caldeira-Leggett particle-bath Lagrangian. In one of its limits, we identify the obtained equation with the Langevin equation used in contemporary extensions of statistical mechanics to the near-light-speed motion of a tagged particle in non-relativistic dissipative fluids. The proposed framework provides a more rigorous and first-principles form of the weakly-relativistic and partially-relativistic Langevin equations often quoted or postulated as ansatz in previous works. We then refine the aforementioned results to obtain a generalized Langevin equation valid for the case of both fully-relativistic particle and bath, using an analytical approximation obtained from numerics where the Fourier modes of the bath are systematically replaced with covariant plane-wave forms with a length-scale relativistic correction that depends on the space-time trajectory in a parabolic way. We discuss the implications of the apparent breaking of space-time translation and parity invariance, showing that these effects are not necessarily in contradiction with the assumptions of statistical mechanics. The intrinsically non-Markovian character of the fully relativistic generalised Langevin equation derived here, and of the associated fluctuation-dissipation theorem, is also discussed.

The generalized Langevin equation (GLE) is a stochastic integro-differential equation that has been used to describe the movement of microparticles with sub-diffusion phenomenon. It has been proved that with fractional Gaussian noise (fGn) mostly considered by biologists, the overdamped Generalized Langevin equation satisfying fluctuation dissipation theorem can be written as a fractional stochastic differential equation (FSDE). In this work, we present both a direct and a fast algorithm respectively for this FSDE model in order to numerically study ergodicity. The strong orders of convergence are proven for both schemes, where the role of the memory effects can be clearly observed. We verify the convergence theorems using linear forces, and then verify the convergence to Gibbs measure algebraically for the double well potentials in both 1D and 2D setups. Our work is new in numerical analysis of FSDEs and provides a useful tool for studying ergodicity. The idea can also be used for other stochastic models involving memory.

We illustrate two distinct approaches to the Mittag–Leffler relaxation, as a mathematical expression suitable for the interpretation of real data produced by complex systems, and especially those of physiological interest. The first approach is based on interpreting the fluctuation–dissipation process under study as obtained via Subordination to the Ordinary Fluctuation–Dissipation (SOFD) process. The second approach rests on the Generalized Langevin Equation (GLE). We prove that in the real cases of truncated time series the two theories generate a survival probability in the form of a stretched exponential, and that this property makes it hard to assess if a given time series obeys the GLE or the SOFD prescription. Some conjectures are made on the possibility of distinguishing the GLE from the SOFD predictions through the analysis of a single time series.
