Abstract

In this paper, we study, on a very simple kinetic model, the flow structure induced by a discontinuity of the boundary data. The model considered is a stationary one-speed transport equation posed in a half-plane; for simplicity, the boundary data consist of the number density of incoming particles. The propagation of singularities is studied with the velocity averaging method.
