On a Positive decomposition of entropy production functional for the polyatomic BGK model

Analysis of PDEs 2017-08-18 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the entropy production functional for the polyatomic ellipsoidal BGK model can be decomposed into two non-negative parts. Two applications of this property: the HH-theorem for the polyatomic BGK model and the weak compactness of the polyatomic ellipsoidal relaxation operator, are discussed.
