Boltzmann equation approach to the N-body problem with masses varying according to the Eddington-Jeans law
We study special aspects of the N-body problem with masses varying according to the Eddington-Jeans law with powers n=2 and 3. Our main result is that a particular set of variables can be found that allows one to write the pertinent Boltzmann and Poisson equations in a fashion similar to that corres...

| Sumario: | We study special aspects of the N-body problem with masses varying according to the Eddington-Jeans law with powers n=2 and 3. Our main result is that a particular set of variables can be found that allows one to write the pertinent Boltzmann and Poisson equations in a fashion similar to that corresponding to the usual fixed mass situation. |
