It is shown that the new formulation provides a basis for applying the method of centroid dynamics to nonequilibrium situations and that it allows the derivation of new formal relations, which can be useful in improving current equilibrium centroid dynamics methods. A simple approximation of uniform relaxation for the unprojected portion of the Liouville space propagator leads to a class of practically solvable equations of motion for the centroid variables, but with an undetermined parameter of relaxation. This new class of equations encompasses the centroid molecular-dynamics (CMD) method as a limiting case, and can be applied to both equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations. Tests for the equilibrium dynamics of one-dimensional model systems demonstrate that the new equations with appropriate choice of the relaxation parameter are comparable to the CMD method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/1.2162887","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,8]],"date-time":"2006-02-08T23:22:26Z","timestamp":1139440946000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Path-integral centroid dynamics for general initial conditions: A nonequilibrium projection operator formulation"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Seogjoo","family":"Jang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"City University of New York Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Queens College, , 65-30 Kissena Boulevard, Flushing, New York 11367-1597"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"317","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,10]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals","year":"1965","key":"2023073102141136000_c1"},{"volume-title":"Path Integrals in Quantum Mechanics, Statistics, and Polymer Physics","year":"1995","key":"2023073102141136000_c2"},{"key":"2023073102141136000_c3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"912","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.55.912","volume":"55","year":"1985","journal-title":"Phys.
