help of the Lagrange theory of thermal hydrodynamic fluctuations. It is shown that the
relative value of the collective part of the self-diffusion coefficient changes approximately
from 20% for simple liÕuids up to 50% for strongly associated ones. The low-freÕuency
behavior of the spectral densities for the velocity autocorrelation function in liÕuid argon and
water is successfully reproduced.
