Multiscale Theory

Abstract

Boltzmann kinetic equation is put into the form of an abstract time evolution equation representing links connecting autonomous mesoscopic dynamical theories involving varying amount of details. In the chronological order we present results that led to the abstract time equation evolution in both state space and the space of vector fields. In the final section we list some open problems.
