Abstract: Let $f(cdot,t)$ be the probability density function which represents the solution of Kac's equation at time $t$, with initial data $f_0$, and let $g_{sigma}$ be the Gaussian density with zero mean and variance $sigm{a}^2$, $sigm{a}^2$ being the value of the second moment of $f_0$. This is the first study which proves that the total variation distance between $f(cdot,t)$ and $g_{sigma}$ goes to zero, as $to+infty$, with an exponential rate equal to -1/4. In the present paper, this fact is proved on the sole assumption that $f_0$ has finite fourth moment and its Fourier transform $varph{i}_0$ satisfies $|varph{i}_0(xi)|=o(|xi{|}^{-p})$ as $|xi|o+infty$, for some $p>0$. These hypotheses are definitely weaker than those considered so far in the state-of-the-art literature, which in any case, obtains less precise rates.

Review text

It is shown that the deviation of the solution of the Kac's equation from the Gaussian probability distribution (with zero mean) is bounded by \(C\exp(-(1/4)t)\) where \(C\) denotes a positive constant. The proof of this result is related to Wild's series and to the Berry-Esseen inequality.
