Abstract

This review article is based on a number of our research papers complemented by some mathematical
developments which are usually not included to texts in Physics, and which can permit a reader to enter
into the details of the self-consistent method of moments, recently suggested, and understand how it could
be improved even further. The idea of the method of moments which appeared some 35 years ago is to
employ several sum rules and other exact relations to determine the dynamic properties of strongly coupled
classical or partially degenerate plasmas. Now this approach is complemented by new empirical and
mathematical observations which permit to determine dynamic characteristics of strongly coupled
completely ionized classical one-component plasmas without any data input from simulations or direct
experiments and express the dynamic properties of the above systems entirely in terms of their static
characteristics like the static structure factors. The obtained results are quite satisfactory and promising.
