Scientific paper

Understanding the path to mechanical equilibria for collisionless
systems is a topic with a rich history. We are investigating the part
that entropy plays in determining the outcome of collisionless
evolution. I will discuss some previous work that lays a foundation
for our current studies. With that framework in place, I will explain
a modification to the entropy maximization procedure and compare the
results to previous ideas. It is possible that entropy maxima are not
achievable, and we argue that entropy production rates can influence
collisionless system evolution. This work has been supported by NASA
ATP grant NNX07AG86G.
