This article focuses on dynamic description of the collective pedestrian motion based on the kinetic model of Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook. The proposed mathematical model is based on a tendency of pedestrians to reach a state of equilibrium within a certain time of relaxation. An approximation of the Maxwellian function representing this equilibrium state is determined. A result of the existence and uniqueness of the discrete velocity model is demonstrated. Thus, the convergence of the solution to that...

We prove global stability results of DiPerna-Lionsrenormalized solutions for the initial boundary value problem associated to some kinetic equations, from which existence results classically follow. The (possibly nonlinear) boundary conditions are completely or partially diffuse, which includes the so-called Maxwell boundary conditions, and we prove that it is realized (it is not only a boundary inequality condition as it has been established in previous works). We are able to deal with Boltzmann,...
