The linear Boltzmann equation describing electron flow in a semiconductor is considered. The Cauchy problem for space-independent solutions is investigated, and without requiring a bounded collision frequency the existence of integrable solutions is established. Mass conservation, an H-theorem, and
A new numerical method is proposed to solve the Boltzmann equation. A frame is set up by using a discrete velocity approximation in the infinite velocity space, but by considering only those distribution function points which are not too small. The distribution function points may occur anywhere in
