We are concerned with the short- and large-time behavior of the $L^2$-propagator norm of Fokker-Planck equations with linear drift, i.e. $\partial_t f=\mathrm{div}_{x}{(D \nabla_x f+Cxf)}$. With a coordinate transformation these equations…

We start with a global Maxwellian $M_{k}$, which is a stationary solution, with the constant total density ($\rho(t)\equiv \wt \rho$), of the Fokker-Planck equation. The notion of distance between the function $M_{k}$ and an arbitrary…
