Systems of equations of hyperbolic-parabolic type with applications to the discrete Boltzmann equation (Q1072008)

A connection between the strict dissipativity of a partial differential equations system and the decay of its solutions is fixed. The decay property is used to prove the existence of in t global solutions of nonlinear evolution equations provided the initial data are sufficient small. As examples global solvability for Navier-Stokes equations and for some models of kinetic theory is proved.
