Abstract
After a brief summary of recently derived general results relating to the mapping of functions of noncommuting operators on functions of numbers, equations are given which describe the time evolution of the -number equivalents (phase-space representations) of the density operator and of a Heisenberg operator. The evaluation of time-ordered functions of operators by -number techniques is also briefly discussed.
