PLRAAN, 1050-2947, 10.1103/PhysRevA.19.1747, The full treatment is given here, with an arbitrary number of variables. The physics deals with irreversible thermodynamics, and so is different from that in this paper. But the mathematical reasoning should be analogous.
8. We may easily verify preservation of normalization by integrating both sides of Eq. with respect to x and setting P(x,t) and its first derivative to zero at the limiting values of x.

28. αβ always constitute a positive-definite matrix for ordinary fluid and magnetic systems, regardless the sign of R. The Bose and Fermi gasses both illustrate this property. A good, purely geometric, example is offered by the sphere and the pseudosphere in the Appendix.
