Popis: In this paper, we present a uniform Lp stability theory for the solutions to Boltzmann equation with small or large external forces in vacuum in soft potentials. We assume that the initial data are sufficiently small and a fast decay in space and velocity. Our stability analysis is divided into two parts. For small external forces, we first consider the time derivative of the pth power of Lp norm of the distance between two mild solutions f and g, then define nonlinear functionals, and apply the Gronwall’s inequality to obtain the Lp stability. For large external forces, we make use of the constructive assumptions on external force, Minkowski’s inequality, and Gronwall’s inequality to derive the Lp stability estimate.
