Constructing a counterexample: positive Fisher-information production in 2D for discrete-angle kernels
Construct a probability density f on R^2 and a collision kernel of the form B(v−v*,θ)=|v−v*|^γ b(cos θ) whose angular measure b is supported on a finite set of deviation angles (as in Theorem 18.1(i)), such that the instantaneous production of Fisher information along the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann flow is positive; equivalently, show that I′(f)·Q(f,f) > 0 for such a choice.
References
Another question left open by this theorem is whether one can use this negative result to construct f = f(v) on R2 such that I′(f) . Q(f, f) > 0, say for B = |v - v*|7 b.
