The Boltzmann Equation

Part of the book series: Acta Physica Austriaca ((FEWBODY,volume 10/1973))

Abstract

This talk is devoted to some remarks on the problem of the time evolution of systems containing a large number of particles. Do we understand approach to equilibrium? Sensitive dependence of solutions of differential equations on initial conditions. Time evolution of infinite systems. Evolution equations for dissipative systems.
