Global Existence for an Isotropic Landau Model

Analysis of PDEs 2024-03-19 v1

Abstract

Following the recent ideas of Guillen and Silvestre in [9][9], we prove that the Fisher information is non-increasing along the flow of the isotropic Landau equation. We then use this fact to deduce global existence for the equation tf=(Δ)1fΔf+f2\partial_t f = (-\Delta)^{-1}f \cdot \Delta f + f^2 under a relatively lax set of conditions on the initial data. In particular, we remove the restrictive radially decreasing assumption of previous works.
