Asymptotic Behavior of Degenerate Linear Kinetic Equations with Non-Isothermal Boundary Conditions
We study the degenerate linear Boltzmann equation inside a bounded domain with the Maxwell and the Cercignani-Lampis boundary conditions, two generalizations of the diffuse reflection, with variable temperature. We prove for the first time the existence of a steady state and a rate of convergence towards it without assumptions on the temperature variations.
