Description for The Mathematical Theory of Dilute Gases
hardcover. Presents mathematical results in the kinetic theory of a gas of hard spheres. This book presents validation of the Boltzmann equations, global existence theory, and the fluid-dynamical limits. It also discusses classical derivation and properties of the Boltzmann equation, particle simulation methods, and boundary conditions. Series: Applied Mathematical Sciences. Num Pages: 356 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 686.
The idea for this book was conceived by the authors some time in 1988, and a first outline of the manuscript was drawn up during a summer school on mathematical physics held in Ravello in September 1988, where all three of us were present as lecturers or organizers. The project was in some sense inherited from our friend Marvin Shinbrot, who had planned a book about recent progress for the Boltzmann equation, but, due to his untimely death in 1987, never got to do it. When we drew up the first outline, we could not anticipate how long the actual ... Read more
