Boundary Layer Solution of the Boltzmann Equation for Diffusive Reflection Boundary Conditions in Half-Space (Feimin Huang, Yong Wang)

　　 We study the steady Boltzmann equation in half-space, which arises in the Knudsen boundary layer problem, with diffusive reflection boundary conditions. Under certain admissible conditions, we establish the existence of a boundary layer solution for both linear and nonlinear Boltzmann equations in half-space with diffusive reflection boundary condition in $L^\infty_{x,v}$ when the far-field Mach number of the Maxwellian is zero. The continuity and the spacial decay of the solution are obtained. The uniqueness is established under some constraint conditions.
