Abstract
A mixture of ψ components in an external field and interacting with potentials of 2, 3, …, n-bodies is considered. An exact equation for the entropy is derived. This equation gives the entropy as a sum of correlational contributions whose structure is increasingly complex. The first five terms are explicitly displayed.Keywords
