Abstract We show that every steady discrete velocity model of the Boltzmann equation on the real line,ξ i·(d/dx)f i=C i(f), which satisfies anH-theorem and for which allξ i≠0, has solutions on the half-line (0, ∞) which take prescribed non-negativef i(O) ifξ i〉0 and approach a certain manifold of Maxwellians asx→∞. Such solutions give the density distribution in a Knudsen boundary layer in the discrete velocity case.
