Nonlocal Lagrange formalism in the thermodynamics of irreversible processes: variational procedures for kinetic equations

This paper is concerned with generalizations of the known local Lagrange formalism of first order. It will be applied to kinetic equations like the Fokker-Planck equation and the Boltzmann equation. In the latter case nonlocal methods are necessary from the very beginning. Nevertheless, in the framework of Fréchet's formalism the calculations are as easy as in the classical local case.
