| contents | The conditions for the existence of the Chapman-Enskog first-order solution to the Boltzmann equation for a dilute gas are examined from two points of view. The traditional procedure is contrasted with a somehow more formal approach based on the properties of the linearized collision operator. It is shown that both methods lead to the same integral equation in the non-relativistic scenario. Meanwhile, for relativistic systems, the source term in the integral equation adopts two different forms. However, as we explain, this does not lead to an inconsistency. In fact, the constitutive equations that are obtained from both methods are shown to be equivalent within relativistic first-order theories. The importance of stating invariant definitions for the transport coefficients in this context is emphasized. |
