Stability theory in L^p for the space-inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation
ABSTRACT:
In this talk, I will present kinetic nonlinear funtionals which are similar in sprit to Glimm type functionals in one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws. These functionals measures the dispersive mechanism of the Boltzmann equation near vacuum and can be used to the study of the large-time behavior and L^p-stability of the Boltzmann equation near vacuum. This is a joint work with M. Yamazaki (Univ. of Tsukuba) and Seok-Bae Yun (Seoul National Univ.)
