About the Book

This book gives a general presentation of the mathematical and numerical connections kinetic theory and conservation laws based on several earlier works with P. L. Lions and E. Tadmor, as well as on more recent developments. The kinetic formalism approach allows the reader to consider Partial Differential Equations, such as some nonlinear conservation laws, as linear kinetic (or semi-kinetic) equations acting on a nonlinear quantity. It also aids the reader with using Fourier transform, regularisation, and moments methods to provide new approaches for proving uniqueness, regularizing effects, and a priori bounds. Special care has been given to introduce basic tools, including the classical Boltzmann formalism to derive compressible fluid dynamics, the study of oscillatons through the kinetic defect measure, and an elementary construction of solutions to scalar conservation laws. More advanced material contains regularizing effects through averaging lemmas, existence of global large solutions to isentropic gas dynamics, and a new uniqueness proof for scalar conservation laws. Sections are also devoted to the derivation of numerical approaches, the 'kinetic schemes', and the analysis of their theoretical properties.

Review :
"Kinetic Formulation has received wide attention and Perthame is the person most responsible for it." T-P Liu, Department of Mathematics, Stanford, CA "A well-known expert, who made some of the key breakthroughs in this area." A Bressan, SISSA, Trieste, Italy "It has been known within the community that Benoit Perthame is writing such a book. The book is anticipated from the community and expected to fill a gap in the literature." A Tzavaras, Department of Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Madison
