Abstract

In this paper, the Cauchy problem for the inelastic Boltzmann equation with external force is considered in the case of initial data with infinite energy. More pre-cisely, under the assumptions on the bicharacteristic generated by external force, we prove the global existence of solution for small initial data compared to the local Maxwellian exp{−p|x v|2}, which has infinite mass and energy.
