Remarks on the acoustic limit for the Boltzmann equation

Abstract: We use some new nonlinear estimates found in cite {LM} to improve the results of cite{GL} that establish the acoustic limit for DiPerna-Lions solutions of Boltzmann equation in three ways. First, we enlarge the class of collision kernels treated to that found in cite{LM}, thereby treating all classical collision kernels to which the DiPerna-Lions theory applies. Second, we improve the scaling of the kinetic density fluctuations with Knudsen number from O(epsilonm) for some m>frac12 to O(epsilonfrac12). Third, we extend the results from periodic domains to bounded domains with impermeable boundaries, deriving the boundary condition for the acoustic system.
