Abstract:

Existence, uniqueness and properties of asymptotic behavior are proved for solutions of the Milne and Kramers problems for the linearized Boltzmann equation for a gas of hard spheres. The proof uses energy like estimates and follows the analysis of Bardos, Santos and Sentis for the equations of neutron transport.
