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
Reflected Brownian motion all "t" ≥ 0, (with Φ the cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution) which yields (for "μ" < 0) when taking t → ∞ an exponential distribution For fixed "t", the distribution of "Z(t)" coincides with the distribution of the running maximum "M(t)" of the Brownian motion, But be aware that the distributions of the processes as a whole are very different. In particular, "M(t)" is increasing in "t", which is not the case for "Z(t)".
