We study the asymptotic equivalence of the 1-d Broadwell model of the nonlinear Boltzmann equation to its corresponding Euler equation of compressible gas dynamics in the limit of small mean free path. We consider the case where the initial data are allowed to have jump discontinuities such that the
We study the time evolution of a quantum particle in a Gaussian random environment. We show that in the weak coupling limit the Wigner distribution of the wave function converges to a solution of a linear Boltzmann equation globally in time. The Boltzmann collision kernel is given by the Born approx
## Abstract In this paper we present the asymptotic analysis of the linear Boltzmann equation for neutrons with a small positive parameter Ο΅ related to the mean free path, based upon the ChapmanβEnskog procedure of the kinetic theory. We prove that if proper initial conditions derived by considerin
## Abstract We show that piecewise smooth solutions with shocks of the Euler equations in gas dynamics can be obtained as the zero Knudsen number limit of solutions of the Boltzmann equation for hard sphere collision model. The construction of the Boltzmann solutions is done in two steps. First we
