Nonuniqueness with local conservation for the hard-sphere Boltzmann equation

Formal proof listed 2 papers September 23, 2026
What the paper claims, in its own words

Constructs two distinct global entropy solutions of the three-dimensional periodic hard-sphere Boltzmann equation from the same nonnegative initial density, with bounded velocity support and finite mass, energy and absolute entropy. Both are strongly continuous in L1 and satisfy exact local conservation of mass, momentum and kinetic energy.
