Entropy methods for the Boltzmann equation [electronic resource] : lectures from a special semester at the Centre Émile Borel, Institut H. Poincaré, Paris, 2001 / Fraydoun Rezakhanlou, Cédric Villani ; editors, François Golse, Stefano Olla.

Entropy and entropy production have recently become mathematical tools for kinetic and hydrodynamic limits, when deriving the macroscopic behaviour of systems from the interaction dynamics of their many microscopic elementary constituents at the atomic or molecular level. During a special semester o...
