Abstract

Tanaka,(18) showed a way to relate the measure solution {P1}1 of a spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation of Maxwellian molecules without angular cutoff to a Poisson-driven stochastic differential equation: {P1} is the flow of time marginals of the solution of this stochastic equation. In the present paper, we extend this probabilistic interpretation to much more general spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equations. Then we derive from this interpretation a numerical method for the concerned Boltzmann equations, by using easily simulable interacting particle systems.
