Abstract
The global Cauchy problem for a local alignment model with a relaxational inter-particle interaction operator is considered. More precisely, we consider the global-in-time existence of weak solutions of BGK model with local velocity-alignment term when the initial data have finite mass, momentum, energy, and entropy. The analysis involves weak/strong compactness based on the velocity moments estimates and several velocity-weighted L∞ estimates.
