Uniform stability of the Boltzmann equation with an external force near vacuum (Q2339857)

This study is based on a equation of Boltzmann type, which is one of the most important equations in statistical mechanics, which gives a description of the real behavior of a system of classical particles interacting by short-range forces. As a first result of the paper, the authors obtain the uniform stability of two mild solutions for the Boltzmann equation with an external force for both soft and hard potentials. The idea was ``borrowed'' from a paper of \textit{Y.-K. Cho} and \textit{B.-J. Yu} [J. Differ. Equations 245, No. 12, 3615--3627 (2008; Zbl 1170.35017)] in the references section, where the authors introduced a new method to obtain the uniform stability of solutions for the Boltzmann equation without a force. It is interesting to note that for this result, the authors did not use the Gronwall's inequality. In the second result of the paper, by using the same method, the authors obtain the stability under a weaker condition than the original condition. Also one can find some details on the force and some examples of the external force satisfying the imposed constructive condition.
