Energy time series, molecular dynamics

Liquids and proteins are complex systems for which the smdy of dynamical systems has wide applicability. In the conference, relaxation in liquids (s-entropy by Douglas at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nonlinear optics by Saito, and energy bottlenecks by Shudo and Saito), energy redistribution in proteins (Leitner and Straub et al.), structural changes in proteins (Kidera at Yokohama City University), and a new formulation of the Nose-Hoover chain (Ezra at Cornell University) were discussed. Kidera s talk discussed time series analyses in molecular dynamics, and it is closely related to the problem of data mining. In the second part of the volume, we collect the contributions by Leitner and by Straub s group, and the one by Shudo and Saito in the third part.
