Abstract: For the case of isotropic distribution functions, the spatially homogeneous nonlinear Boltzmann equation is transformed into a scalar-type equation, with a mathematical structure simpler than that of the original equation. The kernel of this equation is expressed in terms of integrals over the cross-section. In many cases, such as for hard spheres and several types of Maxwell models, it can be expressed in terms of simple known functions.
