Boundary integral equation is derived for the problem of scattering of electromagnetic waves by 3D homogeneous body of arbitrary shape.
A kinetic equation for a dilute gas of hard spheres confined between two parallel plates separated a distance smaller than two particle dimeters is derived. It is a Boltzmann-like equation, which incorporates the effect of the confinement…
We introduce a variational formulation of the homogeneous Boltzmann equation, with hard-sphere cross section, which selects the unique energy conserving solution. We prove that this solution arises from the microscopic dynamics, namely…
The BGK model kinetic equation is applied to spatially inhomogeneous states near steady uniform shear flow. The shear rate of the reference steady state can be large so the states considered include those very far from equilibrium. The…
Difference Kinetic Equations are derived quantum mechanically in a plane wavelets representation with account of two-particle correlations. It is shown that the set of plane wavelet orthonormal functions is complete. The set of ket vectors…
The hypothesis of ``molecular chaos'' is shown to fail when applied to spatially inhomogeneous evolution of a low-density gas, because this hypothesis is incompatible with reduction of interactions of gas particles to ``collisions''. The…
The classification of equilibria for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for Fermi-Dirac particles is proved for any $n$-dimensional velocity space with $n\ge 2$. The same classification has been proven in \cite{Lu2001} for $n=3$.…
The goal of this paper is to give a short review of recent results of the authors concerning classical Hamiltonian many particle systems. We hope that these results support the new possible formulation of Boltzmann's ergodicity hypothesis…
In this paper, we study a general class of inhomogeneous kinetic models that unifies fundamental models in both the statistical physics of particles and of waves, namely the kinetic Boltzmann equations and the kinetic wave equations, in…
We present a hybrid Boltzmann-BGK model for inert mixtures, where each kind of binary interaction may be described by a classical Boltzmann integral or by a suitable relaxation-type operator. We allow also the possibility of changing the…
We introduce a class of Boltzmann equations on the real line, which constitute extensions of the classical Kac caricature. The collisional gain operators are defined by smoothing transformations with quite general properties. By…
An explicit estimate is derived for Kac's mean-field model of colliding hard spheres, which compares, in a Wasserstein distance, the empirical velocity distributions for two versions of the model based on different numbers of particles. For…
There is an extensive literature on the dynamic law of large numbers for systems of quantum particles, that is, on the derivation of an equation describing the limiting individual behavior of particles inside a large ensemble of identical…
The equation for the quantum motion of a Brownian particle in a gaseous environment is derived by means of S-matrix theory. This quantum version of the linear Boltzmann equation accounts non-perturbatively for the quantum effects of the…
In this article the linear Boltzmann equation is derived for a particle interacting with a Gaussian random field, in the weak coupling limit, with renewal in time of the random field. The initial data can be chosen arbitrarily. The proof is…
Consider a linear Boltzmann equation posed on the Euclidian plane with a periodic system of circular holes and for particles moving at speed 1. Assuming that the holes are absorbing -- i.e. that particles falling in a hole remain trapped…
An explicit solution of the stationary one dimensional half-space boundary value problem for the linear Boltzmann equation is presented in the presence of an arbitrarily high constant external field. The collision kernel is assumed to be…
In this Note we present the main results from the recent work arxiv:1107.3251, which answers several conjectures raised fifty years ago by Kac. There Kac introduced a many-particle stochastic process (now denoted as Kac's master equation)…
We analyze the convergence to equilibrium in a family of Kac-like kinetic equations in multiple space dimensions. These equations describe the change of the velocity distribution in a spatially homogeneous gas due to binary collisions…
A kinetic model for the Boltzmann equation is proposed and explored as a practical means to investigate the properties of a dilute granular gas. It is shown that all spatially homogeneous initial distributions approach a universal…
