Abstract

We study steady Boltzmann equation in half-space, which arises in the Knudsen boundary layer problem, with diffusive reflection boundary conditions. Under certain admissible conditions and the source term decaying exponentially, we establish the existence of boundary layer solution for both linear and nonlinear Boltzmann equation in half-space with diffusive reflection boundary condition in Lx,vL^\infty_{x,v} when the far-field Mach number of the Maxwellian is zero. The continuity and the spacial decay of the solution are obtained. The uniqueness is established under some constraint conditions.
