Abstract

In Chap. 6 we discussed the microscopic foundations of extended irreversible thermodynamics (EIT) through the fluctuation theory by focusing the attention on the main features of the second moments of the fluctuations. The present chapter deals with more general methods of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, excerpting in particular the dynamical aspects of fluctuations. First, we start from the Liouville equation and introduce the projection operator technique to relate the memory functions to the time correlation functions of the fluctuations of the fluxes.
