Abstract: | Various existence theorems are given for the generalized Enskog equation inR
3 and in a bounded spatial domain with periodic boundary conditions. A very general form of the geometric factorY is allowed, including an explicit space, velocity, and time dependence. The method is based on the existence of a Liapunov functional, an analog of theH-function in the Boltzmann equation, and utilizes a weak compactness argument inL
