Self-consistent truncation of the BBGKY hierarchy on the two-body level

Abstract

We present a coupled set of equations for the one-body density matrix and the two-body correlation function consistent with trace relations and conservation laws which provide an extension of correlation dynamics on the two-body level. The additional interaction terms are discussed in the context of time-dependent G-matrix theory and NQCD and studied numerically by one-dimensional calculations for colliding finite fermion systems.
