This contribution deals with $\mathrm L^2$ hypocoercivity methods for kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with integrable local equilibria and a \emph{factorisation} property that relates the Fokker-Planck and the transport operators. Rates of…
Hypocoercivity methods are applied to linear kinetic equations without any space confinement, when local equilibria have a sub-exponential decay. By Nash type estimates, global rates of decay are obtained, which reflect the behavior of the…
We consider kinetic Fokker-Planck (or Vlasov-Fokker-Planck) equations on the torus with Maxwellian or fat tail local equilibria. Results based on weak norms have recently been achieved by S. Armstrong and J.-C. Mourrat in case of Maxwellian…
We develop a new method for proving hypocoercivity for a large class of linear kinetic equations with only one conservation law. Local mass conservation is assumed at the level of the collision kernel, while transport involves a confining…
We develop a unified approach for establishing rates of decay for the Fourier transform of a wide class of dynamically defined measures. Among the key features of the method is the systematic use of the $L^2$-flattening theorem obtained in…
In this paper, hypocoercivity methods are applied to linear kinetic equations with mass conservation and without confinement, in order to prove that the solutions have an algebraic decay rate in the long-time range, which the same as the…
In this article, we propose and study several discrete versions of homogeneous and inhomogeneous one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equations. In particular, for these discretizations of velocity and space, we prove the exponential convergence…
We study time averages for the norm of solutions to kinetic Fokker--Planck equations associated with general Hamiltonians. We provide fully explicit and constructive decay estimates for systems subject to a confining potential, allowing…
We employ weak hypocoercivity methods to study the long-term behavior of operator semigroups generated by degenerate Kolmogorov operators with variable second-order coefficients, which solve the associated abstract Cauchy problem. We prove…
We consider Fokker-Planck equations in the whole Euclidean space, driven by Levy processes, under the action of confining drifts, as in the classical Ornstein-Ulhenbeck model. We introduce a new PDE method to get exponential or…
In this article we develop a new abstract strategy for proving ergodicity with explicit computable rate of convergence for diffusions associated with a degenerate Kolmogorov operator L. A crucial point is that the evolution operator L may…
In this paper, we study the hypocoercivity for a class of linear kinetic equations with both transport and degenerately dissipative terms. As concrete examples, the relaxation operator, Fokker-Planck operator and linearized Boltzmann…
In this paper, we mainly study the large time behavior to a 2D micro-macro model for compressible polymeric fluids with small initial data. This model is a coupling of isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a nonlinear…
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 study convergence to equilibrium of the linear relaxation Boltzmann (also known as linear BGK) and the linear Boltzmann equations either on the torus $(x,v) \in \mathbb{T}^d \times \mathbb{R}^d$ or on the whole space $(x,v) \in…
This memoir attempts at a systematic study of convergence to stationary state for certain classes of degenerate diffusive equations, by means of well-chosen Lyapunov functionals. Typical examples are the kinetic Fokker--Planck and Boltzmann…
We develop and analyze a class of structure-preserving discontinuous Galerkin schemes for the nonlinear Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck model, reformulated as a hyperbolic system through a Hermite expansion in the velocity variable. We…

Model reduction methods for bilinear control systems are compared by means of practical examples of Liouville-von Neumann and Fokker--Planck type. Methods based on balancing generalized system Gramians and on minimizing an H2-type cost…
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…
