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.
