Theory of simple liquids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a mathematical model for time-dependent correlation functions and response functions in liquid solvers, based on statistical mechanics and molecular distribution functions, and show that these functions are related to time correlation functions in Ionic and Ionic liquids.
