“…The most attracting feature of the MZ theory is that it allows us to systematically derive exact evolution equations, now known as the generalized Langevin equations (GLEs), for any quantities of interest based on the microscopic equations of motion. Such GLEs can be used as the ansatz for coarse-grained models which found applications in molecular dynamics [22,38,42,9,8,44,45], fluid mechanics [33,32], and, more generally, systems described by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) [39,3,37,36,24,25].…”
