Perturbative theory for the Boltzmann equation in bounded domains with different boundary conditions

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the Boltzmann equation near a global Maxwellian in the case of bounded domains. We consider the boundary conditions to be either specular reflections or Maxwellian diffusion. Starting from the reference work of Guo in Lx,v∞((1+∣v∣)βe∣v∣2/4)L^\infty_{x,v}\left(\left(1+|v|\right)^βe^{|v|^2/4}\right), we prove existence, uniqueness, continuity and positivity of solutions for less restrictive weights in the velocity variable; namely, polynomials and stretch exponentials. The methods developed here are constructive.
