Abstract
We give a connection between diffusion processes and classical mechanical systems in this paper. Precisely, we consider a system of plural massive particles interacting with an ideal gas, evolved according to classical mechanical principles, via interaction potentials. We prove the almost sure existence and uniqueness of the solution of the considered dynamics, prove the convergence of the solution under a certain scaling limit, and give the precise expression of the limiting process, a diffusion process.
