| Summary |
The book collects relevant contributions presented at a conference, organized in honour of Carlo Cercignani, that took place at Politecnico di Milano on May 2428, 2021. Different research areas characterizing the scientific work of Carlo Cercignani have been considered with a particular focus on: mathematical and numerical methods for kinetic equations; kinetic modelling of gas mixtures and polyatomic gases; applications of the Boltzmann equation to electron transport, social phenomena and epidemic spread; turbulence modelling; the Einstein Classical Program; Dynamical Systems Theory |
