Homogenization of the linear Boltzmann equation with a highly oscillating scattering term in extended phase space

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this article, we rigorously prove the homogenization limit of the linear Boltzmann equation when the scattering term is highly oscillating with respect to the velocity variable. We prove that the limit equation keeps, in a suitably extended phase space, the same structure as the non-homogenized one. This situation does not coincide with what happens in standard phase space, where the appearance of memory terms is expected.
