Analysis of PDEs 2020-07-22 v3

Abstract

This article is concerned with the Schauder estimate for linear kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with H\"older continuous coefficients. This equation has an hypoelliptic structure. As an application of this Schauder estimate, we prove the global well-posedness of a toy nonlinear model in kinetic theory. This nonlinear model consists in a non-linear kinetic Fokker-Planck equation whose steady states are Maxwellian and whose diffusion in the velocity variable is proportional to the mass of the solution.
