Abstract: The nonlinear Boltzmann equation is solved analytically for general initial distributions in a (spatially homogeneous) system of very hard particles (VHP) with two translational degrees of freedom and with a transition probability for binary collisions (vw →v′w′) proportional to δ(v2 + w2 − v′2 −w′2).
