Rate processes in condensed media: Basic equations

Author

  • Fain, Benjamin

Abstract

A general theory of rate processes is developed. Starting from the first principles, the non-Markovian and Markovian type equations governing relaxation processes are derived. Under certain conditions (which are specified) these equations may be approximately reduced to master equations.
