Sommario

Si propone un modello semidiscreto piano dell'equazione di Boltzmann per una miscela binaria con collisioni molecolari soggette al potenziale di interazione delle ≪sfere rigide≫. Costruito il modello, si dà un teorema di esistenza globale di soluzioni generalizzate per il problema di Cauchy, e si analizza la propagazione di onde d'urto unidimensionali.

Summary

A plane semidiscrete model of the Boltzmann equation for a binary gas mixture with molecular collisions ruled by the ≪hard-spheres≫ interaction potential is described. After establishing a model, a theorem demostrating the global existence of mild solutions of the initial-value problem is given and the propagation of unidimensional shock waves examined.
