Gaussian basic functions in kinetic theory

The representation of the velocity distribution function for a gas as Gauss-Weierstrass transformation allows the transformation of the kinetic equation for its determination into the argument space of the Gaussian shifts. The transformed version of the Boltzmann equation is discussed for various model interaction potentials, and a set of model field equations is deduced for the Gaussian amplitudes and shifts.
