Abstract

We demonstrate the complete equivalence between the kinetic approach developed by Prigogine and co‐workers and the correlation function formalism for the calculation of linear thermal transport coefficients. We show that in both cases these transport coefficients are determined by the solution of an inhomogeneous integral equation for a one‐particle distribution function which is the generalization to strongly coupled systems of the Chapman—Enskog first approximation of the Boltzmann equation.
