In this work, a new model in kinetic gas theory for deriving the Maxwellian velocity distribution (MVD) is proposed. We … construct an operator that governs the discrete time evolution of the velocity distribution. This operator, which conserves the … momentum and the energy of the ideal gas, has the MVD as a fixed point. Moreover, for any initial out-of-equilibrium velocity …
