Initial/boundary value problems for the semidiscrete Boltzmann equation: Analysis by Adomian's decomposition method

This paper provides a solution technique based on Adomian's decomposition method for a large class of initial/boundary value problems for the semidiscrete Boltzmann equation: a partial differential-integral equation of a semilinear type, in the kinetic theory of gases. The paper also proposes a use of the decomposition method as an algorithm for the continuous approximation of the solutions in a discretized time-space domain.
