Abstract

The concept of hamiltonian sysem is generalized to include a wide class of dissipative processes. Evolution of any observable is generated jointly by a hamiltonian, with an entropy-conserving Poisson bracket, and an entropy, with an energy-conserving dissipative bracket. This approach yields many of the standard kinetic equations, such as those representing particle collisions, three-wave interactions, and wave-particle resonances.
