Rotational Brownian motion the absorption tends toward a maximum and then declines with increasing frequency. The breakdown in Debye's theory in these regimes can be corrected by including inertial effects; allowing the molecules to be non-spherical; including dipole-dipole interactions between molecules; etc. These are computationally very difficult problems and rotational Brownian motion is a topic of much current research interest. Rotational Brownian motion Rotational Brownian motion is the random change in the orientation of a polar molecule due to collisions with other molecules. It is an important element of theories of dielectric materials. The polarization of a dielectric material is a competition between
Fractional Brownian motion Suppose we want to simulate the values of the "fBM" at times formula_12 using the Cholesky decomposition method. In order to compute formula_15, we can use for instance the Cholesky decomposition method. An alternative method uses the eigenvalues of formula_16: Note that the result is real-valued because formula_36. Note that since the eigenvectors are linearly independent, the matrix formula_39 is invertible. It is also known that where "B" is a standard Brownian motion and Where formula_47 is the Euler hypergeometric integral. Say we want to simulate an "fBm" at points formula_48. The integral may be efficiently computed by Gaussian quadrature.
