Global classical solutions of the Boltzmann equation without angular cut-off

P Gressman, R Strain - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2011 - ams.org

Regularizing effect and local existence for the non-cutoff Boltzmann equation

R Alexandre, Y Morimoto, S Ukai, CJ Xu… - Archive for rational …, 2010 - Springer
Abstract The Boltzmann equation without Grad's angular cutoff assumption is believed to
