abstract

We examine classical Bogoliubov's model of a particle coupled to a heat bath which consists of infinitely many stochastic oscillators. Bogoliubov's result suggests that, in the stochastic limit, the model exhibits convergence to thermodynamical equilibrium. It has recently been shown that the system does attain the equilibrium if the coupling constant is small enough. We show that in the case of the large coupling constant the distribution function $\rho_{S}(q,p,t)\to 0$ pointwise as $t\to\infty$. This implies that if there is convergence to equilibrium, then the limit measure has no finite momenta. Besides, the probability to find the particle in any finite domain of phase space tends to zero. This is also true for domains in the coordinate space and in the momentum space.
