Stationary quantum BGK model for bosons and fermions in a bounded interval (Q2302683)

In this work, the authors consider the existence problem for stationary relaxational models of the quantum Boltzmann equation. The existence of mild solution to the fermionic or bosonic quantum BGK model with inflow boundary data is proved. The physical motivation of the problem is the situation in which there is a gas flow between two parallel gas-emitting plates of infinite size. There have not been many results on the analysis of such quantum BGK models. The paper is therefore quite interesting. The proof is based on a contraction mapping argument. The authors also show that the transition from the non-condensed state to the condensated state, or from the non-saturated state to the saturated state does not arise.
