The authors describe generalized time-dependent mean-field equations for partially condensed samples of trapped and evaporatively cooled atoms. These equations give a way of investigating the various order parameters that may be present as well as the existence of a mean value of the field due to condensed atoms. The approach provides them with a closed system of self-consistent equations for the order parameters present. The equations they derive are shown to reduce to other treatments in the literature in various limits. They also show how the equation of motion method allows them to construct a formalism that can handle the evolution of these mean fields due to two-loop kinetics.
