Derivation of the Boltzmann equation with moderately soft potentials from a perturbed Nanbu particles system

Publication date 4 October 2019

Abstract: We derive the 3D spatially homogeneous Boltzmann's equation with moderately soft potentials and singular angular interaction, from an interacting particles system. The collision kernel is of the form

B (z, s i g m a) = | z |^{g a m m a} b l e f t (f r a c z | z | c d o t s i g m a i g h t)

and for

K > 0

,

s i n (h e t a) b l e f t (c o s (h e t a) i g h t) s i m K h e t a^{- 1 - u}

, with

g a m m a i n (- 2, - 1)

and

u i n (1, 2)

satisfying

g a m m a + u > 0

. We use at the particle level the regularizing effects of the grazing collisions, in order to control the singularity of the soft potential. This enables to use a classical compactness argument, and provide a qualitative convergence result from the interacting particles system toward the solution of the limit macroscopic equation.
