We study the Cauchy problem for the spatially homogeneus Boltzmann equation for true Maxwell molecules. We give a simplified proof of a result proved by Tanaka. Moreover, we show that Tanaka functional is an entropy decreasing functional for the Boltzmann equation for Maxwell molecules.

Abstract
We study the Cauchy problem for the spatially homogeneus Boltzmann equation for true Maxwell molecules. We give a simplified proof of a result proved by Tanaka. Moreover, we show that Tanaka functional is an entropy decreasing functional for the Boltzmann equation for Maxwell molecules.File in questo prodotto:
