Many problems in stellar dynamics involve phenomena occurring in inhomogeneous systems in which the interaction between the particles is fully described by a self-consistent field operating in phase space. Because the particles interact by means of the long-range Coulomb force, each particle is under the simultaneous influence of a large number of other particles. Therefore, stellar systems will respond to any perturbation in a collective manner, and a study of such systems is concerned essentially with the N-body problem.
