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.
