摘要
In this paper we consider an isotropic modification for the Landau equation with Coulomb potential in three space dimensions. Global in time existence of weak solutions for even initial data is shown by employing a time semidiscretization of the equation, an entropy inequality, and a uniform estimate for the second moment of the solution to the discretized problem. Moreover, under an additional condition that has to be satisfied uniformly over time, uniform boundedness of the solution is proved, with bounds depending solely on the mass, second moment, and entropy of the solution. A byproduct of our analysis is a proof of improved regularity for weak solutions to the Landau equation with Coulomb potential.
