Associated results are the existence and uniqueness of a solution without the restriction of non-­negativity. Also, a companion uniqueness result to the existence of a measure solution for the associated truncated measure boundary value problem is obtained for small enough interval width.48 pagesAvailable to the World Wide WebUN SDG 10: Reduced InequalitiesResults concerning uniqueness of solutions to the steady state Boltzmann equationThesis
