An equation named for this man can be obtained from the Klimontovich equation using an ensembleaverage over particles and no collisions, and that equation further simplifies to the Vlasov equation inplasmas. A second equation named for this man integrates the probability log probability over all space,assumes molecular chaos before collisions but n
An equation named for this man can be obtained from the Klimontovich equation using an ensembleaverage over particles and no collisions, and that equation further simplifies to the Vlasov equation inplasmas. A second equation named for this man integrates the probability log probability over all space,assumes molecular chaos before collisions but not afterward, and violates time reversal symmetry. A third ofhis equations takes the logarithm of the number of permutations of the available thermodynamic states,which is symbolized W. This namesake of a transport theorem and an H-theorem had that third equationwritten on his tombstone. For 10 points, name this Austrian whose namesake constant, symbolized k, is usedto calculate entropy.
