Abstract
We consider the “inclusive” (“partial”) method for describing nonequilibrium dissipative systems at the early (kinetic) evolution stage, when the temperature distribution is nonuniform. We formulate the perturbation theory in terms of space-time-local temperature Green’s functions and derive the Liouville equation for the one-particle partition function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
