Abstract: | It is shown that it is possible to define true local entropy in velocity space, in an approximate version of the two-fluid formulation of quantum theory introduced by the present author in earlier papers. Using this definition, it is then shown that it is possible to define finite forms for total entropy at all points in configuration space. This important step is achieved by the introduction of a responding velocity space. The use of a basis system which responds to occupation number density, makes possible a clear separation of the statistics and the dynamics of the underlying quantum process, and also makes possible the unambiguous use of certain divergent and oscillatory integrals. |
