Symmetry Methods and Group Invariant Solutions : Some cases of the Boltzmann equation

Lazarus, John Success January 2024 (has links)
We study the application of Lie symmetry methods to solve some cases of the Boltzmann equation, a cornerstone of kinetic theory. The study explores hidden invariances and symmetry-based solutions that help to clarify the complexities inherent in the structure of the equation. Moreover, the study demonstrates a novel approach to solving the equation by rewriting it using the Fourier transform in the velocity variable, which resulted in a non-trivial solution to the Boltzmann equation. The findings not only clarify the mathematical underpinnings of the Boltzmann equation but also enhance our understanding of particle interactions in gases. Overall, this thesis not only enriches the theoretical understanding of integro-differential equations through its rigorous approach but also highlights the efficacy of Lie symmetry methods in unraveling the complexities of fundamental equations in physical sciences.
