Abstract

In this paper, we consider a one-dimensional kinetic equation of Boltzmann type in which the binary collision process is described by the linear transformation v* = pv + qw, w* = qv + pw, where (v, w) are the pre-collisional velocities and (v*, w*) the post-collisional ones and p ≥ q > 0 are two positive parameters. This kind of model has been extensively studied by Pareschi and Toscani (in J. Stat. Phys., 124(2–4):747–779, 2006) with respect to the asymptotic behavior of the solutions in a Fourier metric. In the conservative case p2 + q2 = 1, even if the transformation has Jacobian J ≠ 1 and so it is not involutive, we remark that the H Theorem holds true. As a consequence we prove exponential convergence in L1 of the solution to the stationary state, which is the Maxwellian.
