The grazing collision limit of Kac caricature of Bose-Einstein particles
Thibaut Allemand 1, Giuseppe Toscani 2
(11/03/2009)

We discuss the grazing collision limit of certain kinetic models of Bose-Einstein particles obtained from a suitable modification of the one- dimensional Kac caricature of a Maxwellian gas without cut-off. We recover in the limit a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation which presents many similarities with the one introduced by Kaniadakis and Quarati in [13 ]. In order to do so, we perform a study of the moments of the solution. Moreover, as is typical in Maxwell models, we make an essential use of the Fourier version of the equation.
