Popis: Bogolyubov's functional equations for the distribution functions in statistical mechanics for equilibrium and nonequilibrium many-particle systems are studied. An analog of the transformation to ''collective'' variables on the basis of an exact solution of Bogolyubov's functional equation in the equilibrium case is proposed. Bogolyubov's method is used to obtain a functional equation of Kirkwood-Salsburg-Symanzik type. A path integral method is developed for constructing the generating functionals of the distribution functions.
