Abstract
This paper deals with kinetic-type (Boltzmann) modelling and with the analysis of mathematical problems related to the application of models . The line followed in the organization of the paper starts from a con cise report on Boltzmann equation and goes to the analysis of models l inked to this fundamental equation on nonequilibrium statistical mecha nics. The paper aims to provide a guideline towards modelling systems of interest in applied sciences by means of kinetic-type equations.
