| Abstract: | Statistical molecular memory is investigated in dielectric relaxation in a liquid medium. A new method of closing the infinite chain of kinetic equations for the time correlation function is proposed, and used to obtain an equation permitting the calculation of the smallest-order memory functions. The spectrum of the non-Markovian parameter obtained indicates that dielectric relaxation in liquid CH3I is a significantly non-Markovian process.Kazan' State Pedagogical Institute.
