LECTURE NOTES ON MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF THE BOLTZMANN EQUATION
edited by N Bellomo (Politecnico di Torino, Italia)
This is a collection of four lectures on some mathematical aspects related to the nonlinear Boltzmann equation. The following topics are dealt with: derivation of kinetic equations, qualitative analysis of the initial value problem, singular perturbation analysis towards the hydrodynamic limit and computational methods towards the solution of problems in fluid dynamics.
Contents:
- On the Cauchy Problem for the Boltzmann Equation (L Arlotti & N
Bellomo)
- Asymptotic Analysis of Nonlinear Kinetic Equations: The Hydrodynamic Limit (M Lachowicz)
- An Introduction to Kinetic Theory of Dense Gases (J Polewczak)
- Computational Methods for the Boltzmann Equation (W Walus)
- General Bibliography
Readership: Applied mathematicians.
