Global hypoelliptic and symbolic estimates for the linearized Boltzmann operator without angular cutoff
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 symbolic properties of the Weyl symbol of the Boltzmann collision operator.

Spectral gap and coercivity estimates for linearized Boltzmann collision operators without angular cutoff
In this paper we prove new constructive coercivity estimates for the Boltzmann collision operator without cutoff, that is for long-range interactions. In particular we give a generalized sufficient condition for the existence of a spectral gap which involves both the growth behavior of the collision kernel at large relative velocities and its singular behavior at grazing and frontal collisions....
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 کاملHypocoercivity for a Linearized Multispecies Boltzmann System
A new coercivity estimate on the spectral gap of the linearized Boltzmann collision operator for multiple species is proved. The assumptions on the collision kernels include hard and Maxwellian potentials under Grad’s angular cut-off condition. Two proofs are given: a non-constructive one, based on the decomposition of the collision operator into a compact and a coercive part, and a constructiv...
متن کاملThe Gevrey Hypoellipticity for Linear and Non-linear Fokker-planck Equations
Recently, a lot of progress has been made on the study for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff, cf. [2, 3, 8, 22] and references therein, which shows that the singularity of collision cross-section yields some gain of regularity in the Sobolev space frame on weak solutions for Cauchy problem. That means, this gives the C regularity of weak solution for the spatia...
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 ...
