Boltzmann Equation with a Large Potential in a Periodic Box

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

The stability of the Maxwellian of the Boltzmann equation with a large amplitude external potential ΦΦ has been an important open problem. In this paper, we resolve this problem with a large C3−C3-potential in a periodic box Td\mathbb{T}^d, d≥3d \geq 3. We use [1] in Lp−L∞L^p-L^{\infty} framework to establish the well-posedness and the L∞−L^{\infty}-stability of the Maxwellian μE(x,v)=exp⁡{−∣v∣22−Φ(x)}μ_E(x,v)=\exp\{-\frac{|v|^2}{2}-Φ(x)\}.
