Some Probabilistic Aspects of the Boltzmann-Equation
Conference paper
Abstract
Discussion of the probabilistic nature of the Boltzmann equation centered around the Master Equation approach. Some purely mathematical implications as well as some recent work on adding fluctuating terms to the Boltzmann equation will also be reviewed briefly.
