The Spatially Homogeneous Relativistic Boltzmann Equation with a Hard Potential
In this paper, we study spatially homogeneous solutions of the Boltzmann equation in special relativity and in Robertson-Walker spacetimes. We obtain an analogue of the Povzner inequality in the relativistic case and use it to prove global existence theorems. We show that global solutions exist for a certain class of collision cross sections of the hard potential type in Minkowski space and in ...
متن کاملRate of convergence to equilibrium for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with hard potentials
For the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with hard potentials and Grad’s cutoff (e.g. hard spheres), we give quantitative estimates of exponential convergence to equilibrium, and we show that the rate of exponential decay is governed by the spectral gap for the linearized equation, on which we provide a lower bound. Our approach is based on establishing spectral gaplike estimates valid ...
متن کاملThe Boltzmann Equation with a Soft Potential I. Linear, Spatially-Homogeneous
The initial value problem for the linearized spatially-homogeneous equation has the form ~ + L f = 0 with f({, t = 0) given. Boltzmann The linear operator L operates only on the ~ variable and is non-negative, but, for the soft potentials considered here, its continuous spectrum extends to the origin. Thus one cannot expect exponential decay for f, but in this paper it is shown that f decays li...
متن کاملGlobal Existence Proof for Relativistic Boltzmann Equation with Hard Interactions
By combining the DiPerna and Lions techniques for the nonrelativistic Boltzmann equation and the Dudyński and Ekiel-Jeżewska device of the causality of the relativistic Boltzmann equation, it is shown that there exists a global mild solution to the Cauchy problem for the relativistic Boltzmann equation with the assumptions of the relativistic scattering cross section including some relativistic...
متن کاملUpper Maxwellian Bounds for the Spatially Homogeneous Boltzmann Equation
For the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with cutoff hard potentials it is shown that solutions remain bounded from above, uniformly in time, by a Maxwellian distribution, provided the initial data have a Maxwellian upper bound. The main technique is based on a comparison principle that uses a certain dissipative property of the linear Boltzmann equation. Implications of the technique t...
