Abstract:
Mori's technique of projection operators is used as the basis for a consistent separation
from the microscopic expressions of secular contributions associated with the densities
of conserved quantities. Additional conserved quantities that are quadratic combinations
of the ordinary hydrodynamic variables are added to Mori's scheme. This makes it possible
to go beyond linear processes. In contrast to Kawasaki's equations, the results obtained
here agree with ordinary linear hydrodynamics. Boundary conditions of retarded type are
introduced into Mori's equations, which render them translationally invariant with respect
to the time.
