Abstract

A method of calculating the constants found in Kohlrausch's empirical function describing relaxation processes is proposed, which is based on the application of a well-known algorithm for solving nonlinear problems on a computer using the conjugate gradient method. All the experimental information is used by this method and the degree of calculation accuracy is increased. The reproducibility of calculations to find these constants is found to be satisfactory in the case under investigation when the duration of the experiment is varied.
