Abstract

The Boltzmann and Landau equations are the classical models in statistical physics and plasma physics. We obtain the satisfactory existence of global classical solutions to the Boltzmann and Landau equations with soft potentials in the whole space. The convergence rate to Maxwellians for such solutions is also obtained.
