The general formalism developed in the first two papers of this series is applied to the case of a charged particle and a charged dipole particle having a magnetic moment. A new method for the calculation of the radiation-reaction terms is presented.

Using the kinetic methods of the Brussels school, we establish the equation (to the second order in the perturbation) for the return to equilibrium of the one-particle energy distribution function in the nematic phase of a fluid made of thin slabs interacting through a P2-type potential. On the...

A quantum-statistical theory for the nonequilibrium state of a system subjected to a strong external perturbation is derived with the method of the time-dependent generalized canonical statistical operator. Expressions for the response of the nonequilibrium system to a second perturbation are...

The application of the Onsager-Machlup principle to non-linear fluctuations of a thermodynamic variable is discussed. The Onsager law of proportionality of fluxes and forces is obtained by an integral method. Approximate calculation of the transition probabilities and of the most probable...

We present by way of examples a comparison of the Fokker-Planck equations obtained by the Itô prescription and by the Stratonovich prescription for physical systems described by a Langevin equation with non-additive fluctuations. The particular examples we consider include Kubo line broadening...

By assuming free rotation and the inverting previously obtained friction tensors, we obtain the mobility tensors describing the hydrodynamic interaction between two permeable spheres through order 1/l7, where l is the particle separation. We show that the dimensionless constants which appear in...

By a method of reflections described in a previous article we construct the approximate velocity field produced by the motion of two permeable spheres through an incompressible fluid. The permeability is described by the Debye-Bueche equations. We consider contributions to the velocity field...

In the framework of our generalization of the Debye-Bueche theory for the frictional properties of dilute polymer solutions we study the translational-friction coefficient of polymers with spherically symmetric segment distribution. A variational principle of minimum energy dissipation is...

A numerical solution for the two-component Bénard problem is presented, taking into account the contribution of thermal diffusion to the total density gradient. The results are compared with the approximate solution obtained by the variational technique of the local potential introduced some...
