We concern the long-time behavior of mild solutions to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann--Fermi--Dirac equation with moderately soft potential. Based on the well-posedness results in [X-G. Lu, J. Stat. Phys., 105, (2001), 353-388], we…

The stochastic differential equation of McKean-Vlasov type is identified such that the Fokker-Planck equation associated to it is the Boltzmann equation. Hence, we call its solutions as Boltzmann processes. They describe the dynamics (in…

In classical kinetic or kinetic-like models a particle free path distribution is exponensial, but this is more likely to be an exception than a rule. In this paper we derive a linear Boltzmann-like equation for a general free path…
