The study of this monotone functionial sheds light on the competition between the dissipation and the nonlinearity for this equation. It enables to obtain new results concerning regularity/blowup issues for the Landau equation with Coulomb potential.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-31T23:53:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spatially homogeneous landau equation", "coulomb potential", "monotonicity formula", "applications", "monotone functionial sheds light" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
