Abstract
Generally there are two strategies in fitting the measured structural relaxation time of glass-forming liquids: the single-formula approach e.g. the Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher equation,and the multi-branch approach. In this note, a two-branch method was presented. By analyzing existing single- and multi-branch approaches, I am trying to recall the attention of researchers in this field to the possibilities of the multi-branch approach.
