  "abstract": "For the Boltzmann equation with cutoff hard potentials, we construct the unique global solution converging with an exponential rate in large time to global Maxwellians not only for the specular reflection boundary condition with the bounded convex C^3 domain but also for a class of large amplitude initial data where the L^infty norm with a suitable velocity weight can be arbitrarily large but the relative entropy need to be small. A key point in the proof is to introduce a delicate nonlinear iterative process of estimating the gain term basing on the triple Duhamel iteration along the linearized dynamics.",
