Abstract

A comparison is made between time development of the system, which follows from the exact solution of Grabert equation for fluctuation distribution function and that derived from the maximum entropy formalism. It is shown here that the maximum entropy formalism can describe the behaviour of the physical system for times sufficiently long only if the number of state variables under consideration is very large. Thus, the standard applications of the maximum entropy formalism with few state variables are erroneous.
