Some Estimates on the Boltzmann Collision Operator
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents some new estimates on the gain term of the Boltzmann collision operator. For Maxwellian molecules, it is shown that the L 1 {norm of the gain term can be bounded in terms of the L 1 and L 1 {norm of the density function f. In the case of more general collision kernels, like the hard{sphere interaction potential, the gain term is estimated pointwise by the L 1 {norm of the density function and the loss term of the Boltzmann collision operator.

Global hypoelliptic and symbolic estimates for the linearized Boltzmann operator without angular cutoff
In this article we provide global subelliptic estimates for the linearized inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff, and show that some global gain in the spatial direction is available although the corresponding operator is not elliptic in this direction. The proof is based on a multiplier method and the so-called Wick quantization, together with a careful analysis of the symbol...
متن کاملSharp Anisotropic Estimates for the Boltzmann Collision Operator and Its Entropy Production
Abstract. This article provides sharp constructive upper and lower bound estimates for the Boltzmann collision operator with the full range of physical non cut-off collision kernels (γ > −n and s ∈ (0, 1)) in the trilinear L(R) energy 〈Q(g, f), f〉. These new estimates prove that, for a very general class of g(v), the global diffusive behavior (on f) in the energy space is that of the geometric ...
متن کاملAbout L P Estimates for the Spatially Homogeneous Boltzmann Equation
For the homogeneous Boltzmann equation with (cutoo or non cutoo) hard potentials, we prove estimates of propagation of L p norms with a weight (1+jxj 2) q=2 (1 < p < +1, q 2 R large enough), as well as appearance of such weights. The proof is based on some new functional inequalities for the collision operator, proven by elementary means.

where the unknown f(t, x, v) is a nonnegative integrable function standing for the density of particles in phase space : time t ≥ 0, position x ∈ R, velocity v ∈ R, n ≥ 2. More precisely, this first part is devoted to some properties linked with the operator from (1.13) below, which is linked with one possible weak formulation of Boltzmann equation (1.1). On the right hand side of (1.1), Q is t...
متن کاملEstimates for the Boltzmann Collision Operator via Radial Symmetry and Fourier Transform
We revisit and extend the L theory of the Boltzmann collision operator by using classical techniques based in the Carleman representation and Fourier analysis. We introduce new ideas based in radial symmetry to greatly simplify existent technical proofs and obtain explicit sharp constants. An additional contribution of this work is the discovery of an unexpected relation between the general Bol...
