Abstract
The results of Part I are extended to include linear spatially periodic problems-solutions of the initial value are shown to exist and decay like {Mathematical expression}. Then the full non-linear Boltzmann equation with a soft potential is solved for initial data close to equilibrium. The non-linearity is treated as a perturbation of the linear problem, and the equation is solved by iteration.
