The Fokker-Planck equation describing the transport of energetic particles interacting with turbulence is difficult to solve analytically. Numerical solutions are of course possible but they are not always useful for applications. In the…

We present the quantitative method of the recent work arXiv:2209.09340 in a simple setting, together with a compactness argument that was not included in arXiv:2209.09340 and has interest per se. We are concerned with the exponential…

We study the long time behaviour of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with mean field interaction, whose limit is often called Vlasov-Fkker-Planck equation. We prove a uniform (in the number of particles) exponential convergence to…

This paper investigates the local regularity of solutions to stationary Fokker-Planck equations on an open set $U \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with $d \geq 2$. A central objective is to relax the classical assumptions on the coefficients by…

We propose and analyze a mixed finite element method for the spatial approximation of a time-fractional Fokker--Planck equation in a convex polyhedral domain, where the given driving force is a function of space. Taking into account the…

We consider the Kinetic Fokker-Planck (FKP) equation in a domain with Maxwell reflection condition on the boundary. We establish the ultracontractivity of the associated semigroup and the hypocoercivity of the associated operator. We deduce…

We establish sharp long time asymptotic behaviour for a family of entropies to defective Fokker-Planck equations and show that, much like defective finite dimensional ODEs, their decay rate is an exponential multiplied by a polynomial in…
