Regularity estimates via the entropy dissipation for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without cut-off.

Cédric Villani (1999)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Similarity:

We show that in the setting of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without cut-off, the entropy dissipation associated to a function f ∈ L(R) yields a control of √f in Sobolev norms as soon as f is locally bounded below. Under this additional assumption of lower bound, our result is an improvement of a recent estimate given by P.-L. Lions, and is optimal in a certain sense.

Ferromagnetic integrals, correlations and maximum principles

Johannes Sjöstrand (1994)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

For correlations of the form (0.2) we consider a critical case and prove power decay upper bounds in terms of the fundamental solution of a certain elliptic operator. This is achieved by improving the use of a maximum principle. We also formulate a general maximum principle and give two applications.
