The stability of the Boltzmann equation with deformations
摘要
In this paper, we focus on the Cauchy problem for the Boltzmann equation with a deformation matrix A describing a shear flow. For different choices of the matrix A and various homogeneities of the collision kernel, it is observed that the long-time behavior of the velocity distribution for the corresponding self-similar solutions varies. The main results are twofold: (1) For a general deformation force with
