the chapman-kolmogorov equation is important enough to be by itself.
Rewritten a little, to indicate that master equations in physics are only a subset of Chapman-Kolmogorov equations. The focus of interest in the objects is also rather different.
IMO, the two articles should not be merged. -- Jheald 21:34, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
- I just skimmed the new articles, I agree. I think you can safely/unilaterally remove the merge tags, I don't think anyone will complain.linas 22:50, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Why is it called "MASTER"-equation? -- Ehsel —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ehsel (talk • contribs) 15:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Non Markovian Master Equations
The literature often refers to Non Markovian Master Equations (see e.g. arXiv:quant-ph/0312103), while the definition in this article is clearly Markovian. Might there be a more general definition of a Master Equation, or does the descriptor "non Markovian" make it a different term, as in the Quantum Liouville Equation
