In the standard approach particle methods for the Boltzmann equation are obtained using an explicit time discretization of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation. This kind of discretization leads to a restriction on the discretization parameter as well as on the differential cross-section in the case of the general Boltzmann equation. Recently, construction of an implicit particle scheme for the Boltzmann equation with Maxwellian molecules was shown. This paper combines both approaches using a linear combination of explicit and implicit discretizations. It is shown that the new method leads to a second-order particle method when using an equiweighting of explicit and implicit discretization.

We give a direct proof of the fact that, in any dimension of the velocity space, Fisher's quantity of information is nonincreasing with time along solutions of the spatially homogeneous Landau equation for Maxwellian molecules. This property, which was first seen in numerical simulation in plasma physics, is linked with the theory of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation.

We use Littlewood–Paley theory for the analysis of regularization properties of solutions of the homogeneous Boltzmann equation. For non-cutoff Maxwellian molecules, we show that such solutions are smoother than the initial data. Although the recent and up to date results of Desvillettes and Wennberg10 assume much more general assumptions on the collision cross sections, our method seems to be simpler than those used earlier to show such properties and also applies to any weak solution.

This note deals with the long-time behavior of the solution to the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for Maxwellian molecules, when the initial datum belongs to a suitable neighborhood of the Maxwellian equilibrium. In particular, it contains a quantification of the rate of exponential convergence, obtained by simple arguments.
