Pathological limits in statistical mechanics

Abstract

This paper shows that some of the limit-like quantities currently used in statistical mechanics are ill-defined in the mathematical sense. Along the line, it is shown that significant progresses in non-equilibrium gas dynamics can be made by redefining, reinterpreting, and reformulating those quantities.
