Brownian Motion - Wikipedia - thermal equilibrium  ## Metadata - Author: **thermal equilibrium** - Full Title: Brownian Motion - Wikipedia - Category: #articles - URL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion ## Highlights - The many-body interactions that yield the Brownian pattern cannot be solved by a model accounting for every involved molecule.[citation needed] In consequence, only probabilistic models applied to molecular populations can be employed to describe it. Two such models of the statistical mechanics, due to Einstein and Smoluchowski, are presented below. Another, pure probabilistic class of models is the class of the stochastic process models. There exist sequences of both simpler and more complicated stochastic processes which converge (in the limit) to Brownian motion (see random walk and Donsker's theorem).
