Singular one-dimensional transport equations on \(L_{p}\) spaces. (Q1404918): Difference between revisions

The Cauchy problem for linear mono-energetic singular transport equation (i.e. transport equation with unbounded collision frequency and unbounded collision operator) is analysed. Specular reflecting and periodic boundary condition on \(L_p\) spaces are considered. Solution \(u(x,\mu,t)\) represents the density of gas particles having the position \(x\) and the direction cosine of propagation in time \(t\). Collision frequency \((\mu)\) and positive collision operator \(K(x,\mu,t)\) are not bounded in \(L_p\). The authors also discuss the large time behaviour of the solution by the transport semigroup. The compactness properties are shown of the second-order remainder term of the Dyson-Phillips expansion for a large class of singular collision operators.
