Abstract: The extended Boltzmann equation, which considers the possibility of creation and annihilation of particles by collision events, is derived from a generalized Liouville equation through the construction of the corresponding BBGKY hierarchy. This derivation requires a generalization of the concept of probability density and reduced distribution functions for the case in which the number of particles is not preserved. This extended Boltzmann equation is compared with previously proposed models.
