Abstract:
A new boundary condition for the Bogolyubov (BBGKY) hierarchy that takes into account
correlations associated with local conservation laws is formulated. The explicit form
of the boundary conditions is found for all reduced distribution functions. It is shown
that in the simplest approximation of “binary collisions” this boundary condition leads
to a kinetic equation for the single-particle distribution function in the form of the
modified Enskog equation.
