Kinetic equations. Vol. 1: Boltzmann equation, Maxwell models, and hydrodynamics beyond Navier-Stokes

This two-volume monograph is a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of the theory and applications of kinetic equations. The first volume covers many-particle dynamics, Maxwell models of the Boltzmann equation (including their exact and self-similar solutions), and hydrodynamic limits beyond the Navier-Stokes level. An authoritative two-volume work on rigorous kinetic theory. Presents exact and approximate methods for the Boltzmann and Landau equations. Of interest to researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics and mathematical physics.
