OF LIQUIDS IN THE REGION OF TRANSITION TO THE GLASSY STATE

Based on the notion of the multifractal nature of liquids 
in the region of their transition to the glassy state we give a description 
of viscoelastic properties of the media studied in terms of the dynamic 
shear modulus and modulus of losses and the coefficient of shear viscosity 
whose estimate (1013 P) corresponds to a value 
typical of glass. The relation between the memory function and the 
Kohlrausch function is found.
