Also, a quantity, called the degree of coherence function, is defined as a quantitative measure of the irreversible effects of randomness.application/pdfenIn CopyrightChaosMarkov processesRandom processesWave propagationArticle - Refereedhttp://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/jmp/17/9/10.1063/1.523097https://doi.org/10.1063/1.523097
