Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1988, vol. 149, issue 1, 232-244

Abstract: A kinetic equation for a harmonically bound classical particle, weakly coupled to a thermal reservoir, is presented. The derivation, based on the formalism of master equations developed in Brussels, is outlined and compared to other approaches. Some comments are also made as to the consistency of the so-called Kramers equation in the presence of an external field.
