where $G_{\alpha+1/2}$ is defined by (20) and $u_{\alpha+1/2}, v_{\alpha+1/2}$ are given by (21). The quantity $N_{\alpha+1/2}$ satisfies
the following moment relations
Proposition 4.1 The functions uN defined by (17) and h are strong solutions of the system (18)-(19) if and only if the sets of equilibria {Mα}Nα=1, {Nα+1/2}Nα=0 are solutions of the kinetic equations defined by
for $\alpha = 1, \dots, N$. The quantities $Q_\alpha = Q_\alpha(t, x, y, \xi, \gamma)$ are "collision terms" equal to zero at the macroscopic level, i.e. they satisfy a.e. for values of $(t, x, y)$
∫R2Qαdξdγ=∫R2ξQαdξdγ=∫R2γQαdξdγ=0.(67)
Proposition 4.2 The solutions of (66) are entropy solutions if
Proof of proposition 4.1 The proof relies on averages w.r.t the variables $\xi, \gamma$ of Eq. (66) against the vector $(1, \xi, \gamma)^T$. Using relations (60), (63), (64) and the properties of the collision terms (67), the quantities
∫R2(Bα)dξdγ,∫R2ξ(Bα)dξdγ,and∫R2γ(Bα)dξdγ,
respectively give Eqs. (28) and (19). The sum for $\alpha = 1$ to $N$ of Eqs. (28) with (20) gives (18) that
completes the proof. $\blacksquare$
