Green's function method for nonequilibrium systems

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The causality principle formulated in the paper is offered as a boundary condition for the Schwinger equation. This approach allows study of, in particular, the dynamics of closed, finite systems. An approximate method for solving the equation is offered. A generalization of the Boltzmann equation is obtained for the presence of particle “attenuation.”
