Abstract
The authors explicit homogeneous and inhomogeneous solutions for the d-dimensional nonlinear Boltzmann equations. Maxwellian particles and time dependent external forces proportional either to the velocity or to the space variables are assumed. Examples of distributions which relax towards oscillating Maxwellians and others which relax towards absolute Maxwellians, are found.Keywords
