Derivation of the Boltzmann equation: hard spheres, short-range potentials and beyond
Abstract
We review some results concerning the derivation of the Boltzmann equation starting from the many-body classical Hamiltonian dynamics. In particular, the celebrated paper by O. E. Lanford III and the more recent papers [13, 23] are discussed.
