Abstract:
We consider a system of plural massive particles interacting with an ideal gas, evolved according to non-random mechanical principles, via interaction potentials. We first prove the weak convergence of the (position, velocity)-process of the massive particles until certain time, under a certain scaling limit, and give the precise expression of the limiting process, a diffusion process. In the second half, we consider a special case which includes the case of ``two same type massive particles'' as a concrete example, and prove the convergence of the process of the massive particles until any time. The precise description of the limit process, a combination of a ``diffusion phase'' and a ``uniform motion phase'', is also given.

Keywords: Infinite particle systems, non-random mechanics, Markov process, diffusion, convergence, Brownian motion, uniform motion.
