Abstract

We present an $L^1$-asymptotic completeness results for relativistic kinetic equations with short range interaction forces. We show that the uniform phase space-time bound for nonlinear terms to the relativistic nonlinear kinetic equations yields the asymptotic completeness of the relativistic kinetic equations. For this space-time bound, we employ dispersive estimates and explicit construction of a Lyapunov functional.
