Kinetic equations and dissipative forces
Description
The kinetic equations which should take into account the second principle of thermodynamics are established by breaking the past-future symmetry of the B.B.G.K.Y. system by means of an hypothesis of statistical character. The author shows that another way exists, based on the notion of dissipative forces and on the resulting non-Hamiltonian dynamics. The Boltzmann and Fokker-Planck equations are thereby recovered
Abstract (French)
Les equations cinetiques qui doivent rendre compte du second principe de la thermodynamique sont etablies en brisant la symetrie passe-futur du systeme B.B.G.K.Y. au moyen d'une hypothese de caractere statistique. L'auteur montre qu'il existe une autre voie basee sur la notion de forces dissipatives et sur la dynamique non-Hamiltonienne qui en resulte. les equations de Boltzmann et de Fokker-Planck sont ainsi retrouveesAdditional details
