Existence, continuation, and lower mass bounds for the Landau equation Dr. Andrei Tarfulea Department of Mathematics University of Chicago ABSTRACT: Kinetic equations model gas and particle dynamics, specifically focusing on the interactions between the micro-, meso-, and macroscopic scales. Mathematically, they demonstrate a rich variety of nonlinear phenomena, such as hypoellipticity through velocity-averaging and Landau damping. The question of well-posedness …
