Solution with Finite Energy to a BGK System Relaxing to Isentropic Gas Dynamics

Florent Berthelin and Francois Bouchut


Abstract: We consider a vector kinetic BGK equation leading to isentropic gas dynamics in the relaxation limit. We prove the existence of a weak solution satisfying a kinetic entropy inequality for any initial data with finite energy.
