H Theorem - Ecchi-Teiri

Japanese: H 定理 - えっちていり
H Theorem - Ecchi-Teiri

…Boltzmann discovered the quantity E = ∫……∫ f log f dxdydzdv x dv y dv z , whose minimum value is proportional to entropy, as an analytical proof of the second law, and proved that E (called the H function) decreases with time when a gas is surrounded by fixed walls. This is called Boltzmann's H theorem, and Boltzmann himself considered this to have proven the second law, which states that entropy increases. However, since E has a different sign from entropy, Barbary later changed the letter E to H.

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention the "H theorem" are listed below.

…ボルツマンは第2法則の解析的証明として,極小値がエントロピーに比例する量E=∫……∫flogfdxdydzdvxdvydvzを発見し,気体が固定壁に囲まれているときE(H関数と呼ばれる)は時間とともに減少することを証明した。これをボルツマンのH定理といい,これによりボルツマン自身はエントロピーは増大するという第2法則は証明されたと考えた。ただし,Eはエントロピーとは符号が異なるので,のち,バーバリが文字EHに変えた。…
