Abstract

AbstractThe paper deals with the stationary Boltzmann equation in a bounded convex domain Ω. The boundary ∂Ω is assumed to be a piecewise algebraic variety of the C2‐class that fulfils Liapunov's conditions. On the boundary we impose the so‐called Maxwell boundary conditions, that is a convex combination of specular and diffusive reflections. The non‐linear Boltzmann equation is considered with additional volume and boundary source terms and it has been proved that for sufficiently small sources the problem possesses a unique solution in a properly chosen subspace of C(Ω × ℝ3). The proof is a refined version of the proof delivered by Guiraud for purely diffusive reflection.
