Abstract: We justify the Villani conjecture on the smoothing effect for measure value solutions to the space homogeneous Boltzmann equation of Maxwellian type cross sections. This is the first rigorous proof of the smoothing effect for any measure value initial data except the single Dirac mass, which gives the optimal description on the regularity of solutions for positive time, caused by the singularity in the cross section. The main new ingredient in the proof is the introduction of a time degenerate coercivity estimate by using the microlocal analysis.


The purpose of this paper is to study the regularizing effect of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation with measure valued initial data. Some important functions are the characteristic function \(\Psi\) and the probability measure. Assume that \(f(t,v)\) is a unique solution to the Cauchy problem. Then under certain circumstances, there exists a \(T>0\) such that \(f(t,\cdot)\in H^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^3),\forall 0<t\leq T\). The proof uses the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality and the Fourier transform.
