Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

This paper studies an initial-boundary value problem for the discrete Boltzmann equation in one dimension of space. For specularly reflective boundary conditions, we prove a global existence theorem when the initial data belong to L 1((−1,1)) and have a finite entropy.
