We consider the Boltzmann equation in convex domain with non-isothermal boundary of diffuse reflection. For both unsteady/steady problems, we construct solutions belong to $W^{1,p}_x$ for any $p<3$. We prove that the unsteady solution…

Relative motion in space with multifractal time (fractional dimension of time close to integer $d_{t}=1+\epsilon (r,t), \epsilon \ll 1$) for "almost" inertial frames of reference (time is almost homogeneous and almost isotropic) is…

We study the Boltzmann equation near a global Maxwellian in the case of bounded domains. We consider the boundary conditions to be either specular reflections or Maxwellian diffusion. Starting from the reference work of Guo in…

We prove the existence of a large class of one parameter families of solutions to the Einstein-Euler equations that depend on the singular parameter $\ep=v_T/c$ $(0<\ep < \ep_0)$, where $c$ is the speed of light, and $v_T$ is a typical…

We develop a rigorous theory of hard-sphere dynamics in the kinetic regime, away from thermal equilibrium. In the low density limit, the empirical density obeys a law of large numbers and the dynamics is governed by the Boltzmann equation.…

We investigate the Boltzmann equation with spatial smearing, diffusive boundary conditions, and Lions' collision kernel. Both, the physical as well as the velocity space, are assumed to be bounded. Existence and uniqueness of a stationary…

We consider a finite number of particles characterised by their positions and velocities. At random times a randomly chosen particle, the follower, adopts the velocity of another particle, the leader. The follower chooses its leader…

The Boltzmann equation is a fundamental equation in kinetic theory that describes the motion of rarefied gases. In this study, we examine the Boltzmann equation within a $C^1$ bounded domain, subject to a large external potential $\Phi(x)$…
