In this work we consider the classical non-linear Boltzmann equation, where the unknown is the distribution function $f$, which depends on the time $t$, the vector $\mathbf{x}$ (the position of a molecule) and its velocity $\mathbf{\xi}$.…
On contrary to the customary thought, the well-known ``lemma'' that the distribution function of a collisionless Boltzmann gas keeps invariant along a molecule's path represents not the strength but the weakness of the standard theory. One…
