Abstract

We study an initial boundary value problem for the Broadwell model in half space. The Green's function for the initial boundary value problem is decomposed into two parts: one is the Green's function for the initial value problem, we call it the fundamental solution for the whole space; the other is the convolution of this fundamental solution with full boundary data. A new approach to obtain the full boundary data is established here. Finally, a nonlinear time-asymptotic stability of an equilibrium state is proved.
