We introduce a stochastic particle system that corresponds to the Fokker-Planck equation with decay in the many-particles limit, and study its large deviations. We show that the large-deviation rate functional corresponds to an…

In this article we try to bridge the gap between the quantum dynamical semigroup and Wigner function approaches to quantum open systems. In particular we study stationary states and the long time asymptotics for the quantum Fokker-Planck…

We exactly solve a Fokker-Planck equation by determining its eigenvalues and eigenfunctions: we construct nonlinear second-order differential operators which act as raising and lowering operators, generating ladder spectra for the odd and…

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…

We show that quasi-minimizers of non-homogeneous energy functionals on metric measure spaces are locally H\"older continuous and satisfy the Harnack inequality. We assume that the spaces are doubling and support a Poincar\'e inequality. The…
