Non-cutoff Boltzmann equation with polynomial decay perturbations

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: The Boltzmann equation without an angular cutoff is considered when the initial data is a small perturbation of a global Maxwellian with an algebraic decay in the velocity variable. A well-posedness theory in the perturbative framework is obtained for both mild and strong angular singularities by combining three ingredients: the moment propagation, the spectral gap of the linearized operator, and the regularizing effect of the linearized operator when the initial data is in a Sobolev space with a negative index. A carefully designed pseudo-differential operator plays an central role in capturing the regularizing effect. Moreover, some intrinsic symmetry with respect to the collision operator and an intrinsic functional in the coercivity estimate are essentially used in the commutator estimates for the collision operator with velocity weights.
