Abstract

This paper studies the Cauchy problem of a BGK model and the corresponding nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. Given bounded initial data for the kinetic equation, the existence of weak solutions to the BGK model is obtained by the time-splitting method. Moreover, weak solutions to the limiting hyperbolic system are obtained by passing the relaxation parameter to zero in a modified BGK model.
