A system consisting of an equilibrium medium formed by charged
particles and electromagnetic field is considered in the classical
case at weak interaction between subsystems. The field is
described with all the statistical moments of electric and
magnetic fields. The moments are reduced description parameters of
the herein developed theory based on the Bogolyubov reduced
description method of nonequilibrium states. The generalized
Bogolyubov condition of the complete correlation weakening between
the subsystems is used as a boundary condition to the Liouville
equation. Distribution function of the system is calculated up to
the third order in electromagnetic interaction. Time equations for
the reduced description parameters are written in a compact form
using a generating functional for the field moments and a
generating functional for field correlations (centered moments,
fluctuations). The obtained equations generalize the nonlinear
electrodynamics in equilibrium media for the case of fluctuations
of electromagnetic field being taken into account.
