New a priori estimates for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation
Abstract
Given the solutionf(t) to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation, we study the time evolution of the Linnik's functionalJ(f(t)). When the Boltzmann equation for Maxwellian pseudomolecules with planar velocities is considered, it is proven thatJ(f(t)) is decreasing in time.
