Talk:Fluctuation dissipation theorem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Rewrite
I started a major rewrite of this article.
What was the state before: IMO, the second part of the original version was not very clear.
- 'General applicability' did not give a formula of a general FDT
- 'Derivation' did not make it clear to may what actually is the aim of this computation
What I have done: I included a section 'General form' where I give a general FDT in its simplest form; I also included a derivation.
What can be done next:
- remove redundancies
- compare different versions of general FDT (there's a whole plethora in the literature)
- derive the examples from the general form of the FDT
I would appreciate your help.

- Sure, Benjamin, I'll be glad to help you, although I'm apt to over-commit myself. I appreciate all your work so far in shaping up this little article; most of it was just dashed off quickly while I was researching the equipartition theorem. I meant to return to it, but I got distracted... :( I just added some references and touched up the wording in the lead and my derivation section. I think both derivations should go at the end, similar to what I did at Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector. I'll need to read up on the fluctuation dissipation theorem a lot more, though, before I can really give you much help — sorry! I learn pretty fast, though. :) Willow (talk) 01:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Definition of the theorem
I actually miss the theorem itself. Only examples, derivation and applications..--85.146.199.125 (talk) 20:22, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
