Lyapunov Functionals for the Enskog Equation

Mathematical Physics 2007-05-23 v2 Statistical Mechanics math.MP Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

Two Lyapunov functionals are presented for the Enskog equation. One is to describe interactions between particles with various velocities and another is to measure the L1L^1 distance between two classical solutions. The former yields the time-asymptotic convergence of global classical solutions to the collision free motion while the latter is applied into the verification of the L1L^1 stability of global classical solutions.
