Abstract: We prove that

k

-th order derivatives of perturbative classical solutions to the hard and soft potential Boltzmann equation (without the angular cut-off assumption) in the whole space,

{m a t h b b R}_{x}^{n}

with

n g e 3

, converge in large-time to the global Maxwellian with the optimal decay rate of

O (t^{- 1 / 2 (k + v a r r h o + f r a c n 2 - f r a c n r)})

in the

L_{x}^{r} (L_{v}^{2})

-norm for any

2 l e q r l e q i n f t y

. These results hold for any

v a r r h o i n [0, n / 2]

as long as initially

| f_{0} |_{d o t B_{2}^{- v a r r h o, i n f t y} L_{v}^{2}} < i n f t y

. In the hard potential case, we prove faster decay results in the sense that if

| m a t h b f P f_{0} |_{d o t B_{2}^{- v a r r h o, i n f t y} L_{v}^{2}} < i n f t y

and

| (m a t h b f I - m a t h b f P) f_{0} |_{d o t B_{2}^{- v a r r h o + 1, i n f t y} L_{v}^{2}} < i n f t y

for

v a r r h o i n (n / 2, (n + 2) / 2]

then the solution decays to zero in

L_{v}^{2} (L_{x}^{2})

with the optimal large time decay rate of

O (t^{- 1 / 2 v a r r h o})

.
