Kruskal-style algorithm for Boltzmann equation molecule reduction
Abstract
We are interested in the molecule reduction algorithm used by Deng, Hani and Ma. This algorithm allows them to establish a rigidity theorem, which plays a central role in the long-time derivation of the Boltzmann equation using the hard-sphere dynamics. In the present article, we show that this algorithm is a graph traversal algorithm of Kruskal type, and we prove that it constructs a Kruskal spanning tree of the input molecule.
