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)…
In this paper we complete the program initiated by the first and second authors and rigorously derive a Boltzmann-type equation that incorporates higher order collisions among gas particles. More precisely, starting from a finite…
This paper is devoted to the study of mean-field limit for systems of indistinguables particles undergoing collision processes. As formulated by Kac \cite{Kac1956} this limit is based on the {\em chaos propagation}, and we (1) prove and…
Boltzmann provided a scenario to explain why individual macroscopic systems composed of a large number $N$ of microscopic constituents are inevitably (i.e., with overwhelming probability) observed to approach a unique macroscopic state of…
This paper is devoted to the study of propagation of chaos and mean-field limits for systems of indistinguable particles, undergoing collision processes. The prime examples we will consider are the many-particle jump processes of Kac and…
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…
In this paper, we consider the Kac stochastic particle system associated to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for true hard potentials. We establish a rate of propagation of chaos of the particle system to the unique solution of…
In this paper we consider the stochastic dynamics of a finite system of particles in a finite volume (Kac-like particle system) which annihilate with probability $\alpha \in (0,1)$ or collide elastically with probability $1-\alpha$. We…
We study a class of one-dimensional particle systems with true (Bird type) binary interactions, which includes Kac's model of the Boltzmann equation and nonlinear equations for the evolution of wealth distribution arising in kinetic…
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…
We prove that the solution of the Kac analogue of Boltzmann's equation can be viewed as a probability distribution of a sum of a random number of random variables. This fact allows us to study convergence to equilibrium by means of a few…
We show that the Kac particle system converges, as the number of particles tends to infinity, to the solution of the homogeneous Boltzmann equation, in the regime of moderately soft potentials, $\gamma \in (-2,0)$ with the common notation.…
The Kac model is a simplified model of an $N$-particle system in which the collisions of a real particle system are modeled by random jumps of pairs of particle velocities. Kac proved propagation of chaos for this model, and hence provided…
In this paper, we prove that the Kac stochastic particle system converges to the weak solution of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for hard potentials and hard spheres. We give, under the initial data with finite exponential…
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…
We study the derivation of the spatially homogeneous Landau equation from the mean-field limit of a conservative $N$-particle system, obtained by passing to the grazing limit on Kac's walk in his program for the Boltzmann equation. Our…
It is a fundamental problem in mathematical physics to derive macroscopic transport equations from microscopic models. In this paper we derive the linear Boltzmann equation in the low-density limit of a damped quantum Lorentz gas for a…
A linear Boltzmann equation is derived in the Boltzmann-Grad scaling for the deterministic dynamics of many interacting particles with random initial data. We study a Rayleigh gas where a tagged particle is undergoing hard-sphere collisions…
We build solutions to Kac's particle system and show that their empirical measures converge to the solution of the space-homogeneous Boltzmann equation in the regime of very soft potentials. This proves propagation of chaos for the last…
We consider a stochastic $N$-particle model for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann evolution and prove its convergence to the associated Boltzmann equation when $N\to \infty$. For any time $T>0$ we bound the distance between the empirical…
