In this paper we study Probability Measures (PM) from a functional point of view: we show that PMs can be considered as functionals (generalized functions) that belong to some functional space endowed with an inner product. This approach…

The Grad method is generalized based on the Bogolyubov idea of the functional hypothesis for states at the end of relaxation processes in a system. The Grad problem (i.e., description of the Maxwell relaxation) for a completely ionized…
