Title: GENERALIZED DIELECTRIC FUNCTION FOR CLASSICAL MANY-BODY SYSTEM

Journal Article · · Journal of Mathematical Physics (New York) (U.S.)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1724323· OSTI ID:4699649

A dielectric function is introduced for classical systems distribution function in phase space. The system is considered as a whole using the Liouville equation instead of the canonical equations or the B-B-G-K-Y hierarchy. To facilitate the calculation, the diagrammatic technique of Prigogine and Balescu is introduced in terms of which a systematic asymptotic analysis is carried out for two simple cases: (1) a system of weak interaction and (2) a simple model of plasma. The treatment is restricted to systems in thermal equilibrium. (auth)
