In this paper, we consider a BGK-type kinetic model relaxing to the isentropic gas dynamics in the hydrodynamic limit. We introduce a linearization of the equation around the global equilibrium. Then we prove the global existence of…

A general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics is presented for open systems exchanging energy and particles with multiple reservoirs. By introducing a partition in terms of "macrostates" (e.g. sets of "microstates"), the consequence on…
The fact that macroscopic systems approach thermal equilibrium may seem puzzling, for example, because it may seem to conflict with the time-reversibility of the microscopic dynamics. We here prove that in a macroscopic quantum system for a…
A steady self-diffusion process in a gas of hard spheres at equilibrium is analyzed. The system exhibits a constant gradient of labeled particles. Neither the concentration of these particles nor its gradient are assumed to be small. It is…

In [Phys. Rev. 94 (1954), 511-525], P.L. Bhatnagar, E.P. Gross and M. Krook introduced a kinetic equation (the BGK equation), effective in physical situations where the Knudsen number is small compared to the scales where Boltzmann's…
