Abstract: In this work, we analyze the relaxation of a classical spin interacting with a heat bath, starting from the fully dynamical Hamiltonian description. An analogous problem in the framework of generalized Langevin equation (GLE) with anomalous dissipation is analyzed in details. The Fokker-Planck equation corresponding to GLE is derived and the concept of equilibrium probability distribution is analyzed. In this process we have identified few difficulties to obtain equilibrium distribution for the non-Markovian case and the remedy to overcome this difficulty is also discussed.
