Abstract
In addition to the conservation laws of Chapter 2 an equation describing the conservation of particles in µ-nspace can be derived. This may serve as the starting point for the derivation of a hierarchy of equations for the multiple distribution functions introduced in Chapter 1. As a simple example the description of collisionless plasmas is based on this general theory.
