Recently, several authors have tried to extend the usual concepts of thermodynamics and kinetic theory in order to deal with distributions that can be non-Boltzmannian. For dissipative systems described by the canonical ensemble, this leads…

We investigate the existence of steady states and exponential decay for hypocoercive Fokker--Planck equations on the whole space with drift terms that are linear in the position variable. For this class of equations, we first establish that…

We consider the linear Fokker-Planck equation in a confining potential in space dimension $d \geq 3$. Using spectral methods, we prove bounds on the derivatives of the solution for short and long time, and give some applications.

The purpose of this paper is to extend the hypocoercivity results for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation in $H^1$ space in Villani's memoir \cite{Villani} to higher order Sobolev spaces. As in the $L^2$ and $H^1$ setting, there is lack of…
