Abstract

We consider the Boltzmann equation with external fields in strictly convex domains with diffuse reflection boundary condition. As long as the normal derivative of external fields satisfy some sign condition on the boundary (1.8) we construct classical C1C^1 solutions away from the grazing set. As a consequence we construct solutions of Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system having bounded derivatives away from the grazing set (weighted W1,W^{1,\infty} estimate). In particular this improves the recent regularity estimate of such system in weighted W1,pW^{1,p} space for p<6p<6 in [1].
