A Systematic Analysis of the Memory term in Coarse-Grained models: the case of the Markovian Approximation
The systematic development of Coarse-Grained (CG) models via the Mori-Zwanzig projector operator formalism requires the explicit description of several terms, including a deterministic drift term, a dissipative memory term and a random fluctuation term. In many applications, the memory and fluctuation terms are related by the fluctuation-dissipation relation and are, in general, more challenging to derive than the drift term. In this work we analyse an approximation of the memory term and propose a rational basis for a data-driven approach to an approximation of the memory and fluctuating terms which can be considered included in the class of the Markovian ones.
