Synopsis

The Langevin equation for the harmonic oscillator is solved by a different method from that normally used. The approximate solution for the case of the slightly anharmonic oscillator is then obtained by an iterative procedure and the results are illustrated by a numerical example based on a simple model of a crystalline solid.
