Abstract

We briefly review the recent microscopic derivation of the generalized dynamical density functional equation with some modification as well as the time evolution equation of the configuration distribution function. We then describe our attempt to analyze the microscopic memory kernel operator that enters these equations. In particular we give a matrix continued-fraction recursion formula of the memory kernel operator.
