We develop a general energy method for proving the optimal time decay rates of the higher-order spatial derivatives of solutions to the Boltzmann-type and Landau-type systems in the whole space, for both hard potentials and soft potentials. With the help of this method, we establish the global existence and temporal convergence rates of solution near a given global Maxwellian to the Cauchy problem on the Boltzmann equation with frictional force for very soft potentials i.e. $ -3<\gamma<-2 $.

Keywords: Boltzmann equation with frictional force, soft potentials, energy method, optimal time decay rates, global existence.
