Abstract

Inspired by DiPerna-Lions' work \cite{Diperna-Lions}, we study the renormalized solutions to the large-data Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann systems modeling mixture gases of monatomic and polyatomic species, in which the distribution functions fαf_\alpha characterized the polyatomic species contain the continuous internal energy variable IR+I \in \mathbb{R}_+. We first construct the smooth approximated problem and establish the corresponding uniform and physically natural bounds. Then, by employing the averaged velocity (-internal energy) lemma, we can show that the weak L1L^1 limit of the approximated solution is exactly a renormalized solution what we required. Moreover, we also justify that the constructed renormalized solution subjects to the entropy inequality.
