Existence theorems for certain kinetic equations and large data. (English) Zbl 0654.76073
The author mainly analyzes the Boltzmann equation in one spatial dimension with a bounded weight function S in the collision operator. For this equation, the global $$L^ 1$$-existence and uniqueness is proved on a bounded x-interval. The theorem is proved when velocities are required to be bounded and the contribution from large velocities is treated as being a small perturbation.
