Abstract: It is shown that the three-particle kinetic operator for inhomogeneous gases obtained using Prigogine's method and the matrix representation of the Liouville equation introduced by Balescu is equivalent to the corresponding expression derived by Choh and Uhlenbeck using Bogolubov's method. Both theories take into account the space and time delocalization associated with finite collision time, and the resulting corrections to the asymptotic collision operator are equivalent.
