Entropy methods for the Boltzmann equation: lectures from a special semester at the Centre Emile Borel Institut H. Poincare, Paris, 2001 - 1916

During a special semester on Hydrodynamic Limits at the Centre Émile Borel in Paris, 2001 two of the research courses were held by C.

Villani and F. Rezakhanlou. Both illustrate the major role of entropy and entropy production in a mutual and complementary manner and have been written up and updated for joint publication.
