Quantitative relaxation towards equilibrium for solutions to the Boltzmann-Fermi-Dirac equation with cutoff hard potentials

Abstract

We provide the first quantitative result of convergence to equilibrium in the context of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann-Fermi-Dirac equation associated to hard potentials interactions under angular cut-off assumption, providing an explicit - algebraic - rate of convergence to Fermi-Dirac steady solutions. This result complements the quantitative convergence result of Liu and Lu and is based upon new uniform-in-time-and-$\varepsilon$ $L^{\infty}$ bound on the solutions.
