We consider the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for inelastic hard spheres (with constant restitution coefficient α∈(0,1)) under the thermalization induced by a host medium with a fixed Maxwellian distribution. We prove that the solution to the associated initial-value problem converges exponentially fast towards the unique equilibrium solution. The proof combines a careful spectral analysis of the linearised semigroup as well as entropy estimates. The trend towards equilibrium holds…
