Abstract

A time-dependent generalized Kubo relation is derived by introducing the notion of a diffusion function for a particle confined in a harmonic potential. The relation reduces to the standard Kubo relation as a special case but holds for anomalous diffusion, nonergodic processes, and bounded motion. We analyze in detail the behaviors of the diffusion and memory functions and report a generalized Stokes-Einstein relation concerning anomalous diffusion. Furthermore, we demonstrate that when a high finite-frequency cutoff is imposed on the noise spectral density, a breakdown in ergodicity accompanied by the appearance of nonstationarity in the velocity autocorrelation function occurs in forced systems. This breakdown is taken as explicit evidence for either decay-spring-memory or recovering-force effects leading to nonexponential relaxation kinematics.
