✦ Synopsis


Molecular dynamics [l-S] produces particle trajectories for a.tomic and molecuiar fluids and solids. Time-displaced autocorrelation functions calculated from these trajectoreis are used to study a host of transport, relaxation and light scattering processes [6,7]. The autocorrelation function C(t) of the dynamical variable a[@(t), PN(Ql for the N-particle system is approximated by a finite time average, T C(t) = :~(t)n(O)),,,,~~ y (l/U') $ o(t+s)a(s)ds , -T 0)
