We study an initial boundary value problem for the Broadwell model in half space. The Green's function for the initial boundary value problem is decomposed into two parts: one is the Green's function for the initial value problem, we call it the fundamental solution for the whole space; the other is the convolution of this fundamental solution with full boundary data. A new approach to obtain the full boundary data is established here. Finally, a nonlinear time-asymptotic stability of an equilibrium state is proved.

Abstract

We study an initial boundary value problem for the Broadwell model in half space. The Green's function for the initial boundary value problem is decomposed into two parts: one is the Green's function for the initial value problem, we call it the fundamental solution for the whole space; the other is the convolution of this fundamental solution with full boundary data. A new approach to obtain the full boundary data is established here. Finally, a nonlinear time-asymptotic stability of an equilibrium state is proved.
