Abstract
A method is presented to calculate the relaxation spectra of nonlinear polymers. Actual calculations are made for the star, comb, and Cayley tree type molecules, and also for the regular network of polymer chains. Sum rules for the eigen relaxation times are proved. It is found that none of the calculated relaxation spectra exhibit a box-type spectrum.
