This paper is concerned with space inhomogeneous quantum Fokker-Planck equations posed on a classical kinetic phase space. The nonlinear factor $f(1\pm f)$ appears both in the transport term and in the collison part of the Fokker-Planck…
We develop a functional analytic approach to the study of the Kramers and kinetic Fokker-Planck equations which parallels the classical $H^1$ theory of uniformly elliptic equations. In particular, we identify a function space analogous to…
We consider the Fokker-Planck equation with a strong external magnetic field. Global-in-time solutions are built near the Maxwellian, the global equilibrium state for the system. Moreover, we prove the convergence to equilibrium at…
We consider hypoelliptic equations of kinetic Fokker-Planck type, also known as Kolmogorov or ultraparabolic equations, with rough coefficients in the drift-diffusion operator. We give novel short quantitative proofs of the De Giorgi…
In this article, we prove some convergence results for kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with strong space confinement but fat-tailed local equilibria and non-explicit global steady states. We extend the results of \cite{C21} to a wider class…
This paper is devoted to the adaptation of the method developed in [4,3] to a Fokker-Planck equation for fiber lay-down which has been studied in [1,5]. Exponential convergence towards a unique stationary state is proved in a norm which is…
We study the long-time dynamics of two-dimensional linear Fokker-Planck equations driven by a drift that can be decomposed in the sum of a large shear component and the gradient of a regular potential depending on one spatial variable. The…
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…
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…
This article addresses the local boundedness and H\"older continuity of weak solutions to kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with general transport operators and rough coefficients. These results are due to the mixing effect of diffusion and…
This paper is devoted to Fokker-Planck and linear kinetic equations with very weak confinement corresponding to a potential with an at most logarithmic growth and no integrable stationary state. Our goal is to understand how to measure the…
We obtain equilibration rates for a one-dimensional nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation with time-dependent diffusion coefficient and drift, modeling the relaxation of a large swarm of robots, feeling each other in terms of their distance,…
We prove long-time contractivity estimates and exponential rates of convergence to equilibrium for solutions of hypoelliptic diffusion equations, which include the well-known Kolmogorov equation and similar kinetic Fokker-Planck equations…
This paper deals with the study of some particular kinetic models, where the randomness acts only on the velocity variable level. Usually, the Markovian generator cannot satisfy any Poincar\'e's inequality. Hence, no Gronwall's lemma can…
The long time behavior and detailed convergence analysis of Langevin equations has received increased attention over the last years. Difficulties arise from a lack of coercivity, usually termed hypocoercivity, of the underlying kinetic…
We consider a rather general class of non-local in time Fokker-Planck equations and show by means of the entropy method that as $t\to \infty$ the solution converges in $L^1$ to the unique steady state. Important special cases are the…
We introduce a new probabilistic approach to quantify convergence to equilibrium for (kinetic) Langevin processes. In contrast to previous analytic approaches that focus on the associated kinetic Fokker-Planck equation, our approach is…
A quadratic optimal transport metric on the set of probability measure over $\R^2$ is introduced. The quadratic cost is given by the euclidean norm on $\R^2$ associated to some well chosen symmetric positive matrix, which makes the metric…
This paper is concerned with finding Fokker-Planck equations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with the fastest exponential decay towards a given equilibrium. For a prescribed, anisotropic Gaussian we determine a non-symmetric Fokker-Planck equation with…
