The spatially homogeneous solutions of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation are studied analytically. The global solution for the one-dimensional problem is considered. The weak form for the collision operator of the Boltzmann equation is introduced. The main goal of the article is that the initial value problem for the fife lemmas and the main theorem are proved. It is proved that the Boltzmann equation has a global weak solution for the one-dimensional problem. The global conservation of energy follows from existence of the global weak solution.
