Dynamical Evolution of Galaxies.
This research monograph presents a new dynamical framework for the study of secular dynamical evolution of galaxies. Classical approaches based on Boltzmann's kinetic equation, as well as on its moment-equation descendants the Euler and Navier-Stokes fluid equations, are inadequate for treating...
