Abstract
This paper proposes a generalized Langevin's equation for a small classical mechanical system embedded in a reservoir. The interaction of the main system with the reservoir is given by a Gaussian transform as introduced in our previous paper [8]. Thus, a first result proves the existence of a strong solution to this equation in the space where the Gaussian transform (or non-Markovian noise) is defined. The interpretation of the noise is obtained by considering a finite number n of oscillating particles with discrete frequencies in the reservoir. The action of this discrete reservoir on the small system is described by a memory kernel and a sequence of zero-mean Gaussian processes. So, an integro-differential equation for the evolution of a generic particle in the main system arises for each n. This equation has a unique solution Xn which converges in distribution towards the solution of the initial non-Markovian Langevin's equation.
