Abstract
It is shown that the Boltzmann equation for isotropic scattering of Maxwell molecules, considered by Bobylev, Krook, and Wu (BKW), can be written in the form of an energy-space kinetic equation. A transformation leads to a new class of kinetic models, possessing exact solutions of the BKW type.Keywords
