Abstract Kinetic Equations with Positive Collision Operators

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider "forward-backward" parabolic equations in the abstract form Jdpsi/dx+Lpsi=0, 0<x<auleqinfty, where J and L are operators in a Hilbert space H such that J=J∗=J−1, L=L∗geq0, and kerL=0. The following theorem is proved: if the operator B=JL is similar to a self-adjoint operator, then associated half-range boundary problems have unique solutions. We apply this theorem to corresponding nonhomogeneous equations, to the time-independent Fokker-Plank equation mufracpartialpsipartialx(x,mu)=b(mu)fracpartial2psipartialmu2(x,mu), 0<x<au, muinR, as well as to other parabolic equations of the "forward-backward" type. The abstract kinetic equation Tdpsi/dx=−Apsi(x)+f(x), where T=T∗ is injective and A satisfies a certain positivity assumption, is considered also.
