For the Kac master equation and finite differentiable entropy, mass and energy conservation remove the non-logarithmic entropy terms. Symmetrizing each pair rotation then gives DN​(F)=[2π(N−1)]−1∑i<j​∫∫(F∘Rij,θ​−F)log((F∘Rij,θ​)/F)dvdθ. The integrand is nonnegative by monotonicity of the logarithm, with the usual extended convention at zeros. Zero dissipation corresponds to radiality; it need not imply zero relative entropy.
