Classical Markovian Kinetic Equations: Explicit Form and H-Theorem
英文摘要：
The probabilistic description of finite classical systems often leads to linear kinetic equations. A set of physically motivated mathematical requirements is accordingly formulated. We show that it necessarily implies that solutions of such a kinetic equation in the Heisenberg representation, define Markov semigroups on the space of observables. Moreover, a general H-theorem for the adjoint of such semigroups is formulated and proved provided that at least locally, an invariant measure exists. Under a certain continuity assumption, the Markov semigroup property is sufficient for a linear kinetic equation to be a second order differential equation with nonegative-definite leading coefficient. Conversely it is shown that such equations define Markov semigroups satisfying an H-theorem, provided there exists a nonnegative equilibrium solution for their formal adjoint, vanishing at infinity.
