There is considerable interest in Brownian motion in a nondilute suspension, in which the Brownian particles can influence the motion of one another both as a consequence of direct long-range interactions and indirectly by means of the disturbance of the medium caused by the motion of each Brownian particle. The authors examined the second effect; therefore, they investigated the case in which there is no long-range Brownian-particle-Brownian-particle interaction. The direct encounters of the Brownian particles with one another were also disregarded, since their consideration is impossible without consideration of the influence of the long-range forces.
