On a positive decomposition of entropy production functional for the polyatomic BGK model

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the entropy production functional for the polyatomic ellipsoidal BGK model can be decomposed into two non-negative parts. Two applications of this property: the H-theorem for the polyatomic BGK model and the weak compactness of the polyatomic ellipsoidal relaxation operator, are discussed.
