Abstract:

We consider the Landau equation nearby the Maxwellian equilibrium. Based on the assumptions on the boundedness of mass, energy, and entropy in the sense of Silvestre [J. Diffential Equations 262 (2017), no. 3, 3034–3055], we enjoy the locally uniform ellipticity of the linearized Landau operator to derive local-in-time $L^\infty _{x,v}$ uniform bounds. Then we establish a compactness theorem for the sequence of solutions using the $L^\infty _{x,v}$ bounds and the standard velocity averaging lemma. Finally, we pass to the limit and prove the local existence of a weak solution to the Cauchy problem. The highlight of this work is in the low-regularity setting where we only assume that the initial condition $f_0$ is bounded in $L^\infty _{x,v}$, whose size determines the maximal time-interval of the existence of the weak solution.
