Abstract
In order to derive the reciprocity relations, Onsager formulated a relation between thermal equilibrium fluctuations and relaxation widely known as regression hypothesis. It is shown in the present work how such a relation can be extended to finite and isolated classical systems. This extension is derived from the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for the microcanonical ensemble. The results are exemplified with a nonintegrable system in order to motivate possible applications to dynamical systems and statistical mechanics of finite systems.
