We show that solutions can be continued as long as the following three quantities remain finite, uniformly in $t$ and $x$: (1) the mass density, (2) the velocity moment of order $s$ for any small $s>0$, and (3) the $L^p_v$ norm for any $p>3/(5+\\gamma)$. In particular, we do not require a bound on the energy density. If we specialize our result to the spatially homogeneous case, we recover the best known continuation criterion in that regime.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-09-27T14:33:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "continuation criterion", "coulomb potentials", "quantities remain finite", "spatially inhomogeneous landau equation", "energy density" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
