N. Fournier et S. Meleard, A Markov process associated with a Boltzmann equation without cutoff and for non-Maxwell molecules, J STAT PHYS, 104(1-2), 2001, pp. 359-385
Tanaka,((18)) showed a way to relate the measure solution {P-t}(t) of a spa
tially homogeneous Boltzmann equation of Maxwellian molecules without angul
ar cutoff to a Poisson-driven stochastic differential equation: {P-t} is th
e flow of time marginals of the solution of this stochastic equation. In th
e present paper, we extend this probabilistic interpretation to much more g
eneral spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equations. Then we derive from this
interpretation a numerical method for the concerned Boltzmann equations, by
using easily simulable interacting particle systems.
