title: Nonequilibrium evolution thermodynamics of vacancies.
abstract: An alternative approach, nonequilibrium evolution thermodynamics, is compared with the classical Landau approach. A statistical justification of the approach is done with the help of a probability distribution function on an example of a solid with vacancies. Two kinds of kinetic equations are derived in terms of the internal energy and the modified free energy.
