The Boltzmann equation is given by ([1] Eq 1 Chap. IX)

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{\partial f_i}{\partial t} = - {\mathbf u}_i \cdot \frac{\partial f_i}{\partial {\mathbf r}} - {\mathbf F}_i \cdot \frac{\partial f_i}{\partial {\mathbf u}_i } + \sum_j C(f_i,f_j) }

where is an external force and the function C() represents binary collisions.

Solution[edit]

Recently Gressman and Strain [2] have provided a proof of global existence and rapid decay to equilibrium of classical solutions to the Boltzmann equation.
