Abstract
AbstractWe study the spatially homogeneous solutions for the relativistic kinetic equations. It is shown that the Cauchy problem for the relativistic Boltzmann and Landau equation with soft potentials admits a global weak solution if the mass, energy and entropy of the initial data are finite. Besides the asymptotic behavior of grazing collisions of the relativistic Boltzmann equation is concerned. We prove that the subsequences of solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation weakly converge to the solutions of the relativistic Landau equation when almost all the collisions are grazing. These results are extensions of the work of Villani for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann and Landau equations in the classical case.Keywords: Relativistic Boltzmann equationrelativistic Landau equationsoft potentialsgrazing collision2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35Q20 AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the referees of this paper for their helpful suggestions on this work.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by NSFC 11171356.
期刊介绍:
Applicable Analysis is concerned primarily with analysis that has application to scientific and engineering problems. Papers should indicate clearly an application of the mathematics involved. On the other hand, papers that are primarily concerned with modeling rather than analysis are outside the scope of the journal
General areas of analysis that are welcomed contain the areas of differential equations, with emphasis on PDEs, and integral equations, nonlinear analysis, applied functional analysis, theoretical numerical analysis and approximation theory. Areas of application, for instance, include the use of homogenization theory for electromagnetic phenomena, acoustic vibrations and other problems with multiple space and time scales, inverse problems for medical imaging and geophysics, variational methods for moving boundary problems, convex analysis for theoretical mechanics and analytical methods for spatial bio-mathematical models.
