Spatially Homogeneous Boltzmann Equation

In the standard approach particle methods for the Boltzmann equation are obtained using an explicit time discretization of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation. This kind of discretization leads to a restriction on the discretization parameter as well as on the differential cross-section in the case of the general Boltzmann equation. Recently, construction of an implicit particle scheme for the Boltzmann equation with Maxwellian molecules was shown. This paper combines both approaches using a linear combination of explicit and implicit discretizations. It is shown that the new method leads to a second-order particle method when using an equiweighting of explicit and implicit discretization.
