In the first part, we prove via classical limit that the truncated system of moments dictates a precise hierarchy of moments in the classical framework. In the second part, we consider the particular physical case of fifteen moments closed via Maximum Entropy Principle in a neighborhood of equilibrium state. We prove that this symmetric hyperbolic system satisfies all the general assumption of some theorems that guarantee the global existence of smooth solutions for initial data sufficiently small.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-01-31T06:19:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "relativistic kinetic theory", "polyatomic gas", "classical limit", "qualitative analysis", "symmetric hyperbolic system satisfies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
