Space-time behavior of the solution to the Boltzmann equation with soft potentials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we get the quantitative space-time behavior of the full Boltzmann equation with soft potentials (−2<gamma<0) in the close to equilibrium setting, under some velocity decay assumption, but without any Sobolev regularity assumption on the initial data. We find that both the large time and spatial behaviors depend on the velocity decay of the initial data and the exponent gamma. The key step in our strategy is to obtain the Linfty bound of a suitable weighted full Boltzmann equation directly, rather than using Green's function and Duhamel's principle to construct the pointwise structure of the solution as in the paper: T.-P. Liu and S.-H. Yu, The Green function and large time behavier of solutions for the one-dimensional Boltzmann equation, Commun. Pure App. Math.,(2004). This provides a new thinking in the related study.
