The purpose of this paper is to investigate the limit of some kinetic equations with a strong force. Due to friction, the solution concentrates to a monokinetic distribution so as to keep the total of force bounded and in the limit we recover a macroscopic system. This kind of asymptotics is a natur

An analytic theory is presented for the thermally activated rate constant in systems which exhibit spatially dependent and timecorrelated friction along the reaction coordinate motion. The theory is valid over the entire range of damping strengths, including in the region of the Rramers turnover. It
We generalize the Carmeli-Nitzan unified theory for the non-Markovian escape rate from a metastable well by allowing for different memory friction kernels in the well and the barrier regions. These rates, which contain previously known results as special cases, are plotted for various values of the
