Abstract
For plasmas, the Liouville equation of many-body distribution functions is the complete statistical description of a many-body system and describes every detail of plasmas from the largest to the smallest spatial and temporal scales. The amount of information contained in the many-body distribution function is vast, and as a consequence it is very hard to directly deal with the Liouville equation.
