✦ Synopsis

We obtain the solution of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation for a spatially homogeneous mixture of L gases, consisting of Maxwell particles. We include removal and self-generation effects in presence of a time-dependent external force. The solution is given as a generalized Laguerre expansion, within a certain Hilbert space. Furthermore we study an exact particular solution which generalizes the well-known BKW mode, for a mixture of L gases with inelastic processes.
