We develop a rigorous formalism for the description of the kinetic evolution of infinitely many hard spheres. On the basis of the kinetic cluster expansions of cumulants of groups of operators of finitely many hard spheres which are the generating operators of a nonperturbative solution of the Cauchy problem of the BBGKY hierarchy the nonlinear kinetic Enskog equation is derived. It is established that for initial states which are specified in terms of one-particle distribution functions the description of the evolution by the Cauchy problem of the BBGKY hierarchy and by the Cauchy problem of the generalized Enskog kinetic equation together with a sequence of explicitly defined functionals of a solution of stated kinetic equation are an equivalent. For the initial-value problem of the generalized Enskog equation the existence theorem is proved in the space of integrable functions.
Keywords: BBGKY hierarchy, hard spheres., Enskog equation, scattering operators, kinetic cluster expansion.
