Abstract
An equation describing the irreversible evolution of the local density of a continuous medium without involving any statistical hypotheses and assumptions is derived. The derivation is based on the smoothing of the microscopic dynamic characteristics of a many-body system, taking into account the retardation of the interactions between them. The resulting equation generalizes the classical equation of motion for fluids. Several particular cases of the resulting equation, as well as its connection with the dynamic density functional theory, are considered.
