Inspired by one-dimensional light-particle systems, the dynamics of a non-Hamiltonian system with long-range forces is investigated. While the molecular dynamics does not reach an equilibrium state, it may be approximated in the thermodynamic limit by a Vlasov equation that does possess stable stationary solutions. This implies that on a macroscopic scale the molecular dynamics evolves on a slow timescale that diverges with the system size. At the single-particle level, the evolution is driven by incoherent interaction between the particles, which may be effectively modeled by a noise, leading to a Brownian-like dynamics of the momentum. Because this self-generated diffusion process depends on the particle distribution, the associated Fokker-Planck equation is nonlinear, and a subdiffusive behavior of the momentum fluctuations emerges, in agreement with numerics.

Stochastic approaches play a vital role in weather, climate, and, more in general, geophysics systems, addressing processes and scales beyond the resolution of deterministic models. Similar to equilibrium/non-equilibrium thermodynamics, intricate fast and local dynamics may not always be the primary focus. Practical applications often prioritize observables capturing phenomena at dominant temporal and spatial scales.

Physical systems that are dissipating, mixing, and developing turbulence also irreversibly transport statistical density. However, predicting the evolution of density from atomic and molecular scale dynamics is challenging for nonsteady, open, and driven nonequilibrium processes. Here, we establish a theory to address this challenge for classical dynamical systems that is analogous to the density matrix formulation of quantum mechanics.

Over the past few decades, the research of dissipative chaotic systems has yielded many achievements in both theory and application. However, attractors in dissipative systems are easily reconstructed by the attacker, which leads to information security problems. Compared with dissipative systems, conservative ones can effectively avoid these reconstructing attacks due to the absence of attractors.

Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques provide a wealth of information on molecular systems. The simulations of such experiments remain challenging, however, despite the efforts put into developing the underlying theory. An attractive method of simulating the behavior of molecular systems is provided by the quantum-classical theory─it enables one to keep track of the state of the bath explicitly, which is needed for accurate calculations of fluorescence spectra.

A general approach to the construction of non-Markovian quantum theory is proposed. Non-Markovian equations for quantum observables and states are suggested by using general fractional calculus. In the proposed approach, the non-locality in time is represented by operator kernels of the Sonin type.
