【 摘 要 】
The Bogoliubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon or time-dependent density matrix (TDDM) hierarchy of equations for higher density matrices is truncated at the three-body level in approximating the three-body correlation function by a quadratic form of two-body ones, closing the equations in this way. The procedure is discussed in detail and it is shown in nontrivial model cases that the approximate inclusion of three-body correlation functions is very important to obtain precise results. A small amplitude approximation of this time-dependent nonlinear equation for the two-body correlation function is performed (STDDM*-b) and it is shown that the one-body sector of this generalized nonlinear second random phase approximation (RPA) equation is equivalent to the self-consistent RPA (SCRPA) approach which had been derived previously by different techniques. It is discussed in which way SCRPA also contains the three-body correlations. TDDM and SCRPA are tested versus exactly solvable model cases.
