Abstract

We characterize the class of probability measu res possessing finite moments of an arbitrary positive order in terms of the symmetric difference operators of their Fourier transforms. As an application, we prove the continuity of probability densities associated with measure-valued solutions to the Cauchy problem for the homogeneous Boltzmann equation with Maxwellian molecules.
