A self-consistent theory of the superfluid Bose liquid is constructed on the basis of a generalization of the Fermi-liquid approach to superfluidity. The semiphenomenological theory of the superfluid Bose liquid developed here is based on specifying the system energy as a functional of both the quasiparticle condensate amplitudes and the normal and anomalous correlation functions of the above-condensate quasiparticles. The expression found for the entropy is used together with the variational principle to obtain the self-consistency equations for the equilibrium correlation functions and the quasiparticle condensate amplitudes. Collisionless kinetic equations for the normal and anomalous correlation functions and the condensate amplitudes are formulated. These equations are used to study the oscillations of a spatially homogeneous Bose liquid with the condition that all the particles are in the condensate. The relation between the formalism developed here and the results obtained by Bogolyubov for a weakly nonideal Bose gas is traced, and the equations for two-liquid ideal hydrodynamics are constructed without assuming Galilean invariance of the energy functional. 54 refs.
