On the Cauchy Problem for the Inelastic Boltzmann Equation with External Force

摘要

In this paper, the Cauchy problem for the inelastic Boltzmann equation with external force is considered for near vacuum data. Under the assumptions on the bicharacteristic generated by external force which can be arbitrarily large, we prove the global existence of mild solution for initial data small enough with respect to the sup norm with exponential weight by using the contraction mapping theorem. Furthermore, we prove the uniform L ~1 stability of the mild solution following from the exponential decay estimate and the Gronwall's inequality for the case of soft potentials.
