We investigate the properties of certain elliptic systems leading, a~priori, to solutions that belong to the space of Radon measures. We show that if the problem is equipped with a so-called asymptotic Uhlenbeck structure, then the solution…
We present a theory of hypoellipticity and unique ergodicity for semilinear parabolic stochastic PDEs with "polynomial" nonlinearities and additive noise, considered as abstract evolution equations in some Hilbert space. It is shown that if…

Numerical resolution of exterior Helmholtz problems requires some approach to domain truncation. As an alternative to approximate nonreflecting boundary conditions and invocation of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, we introduce a new, nonlocal…

We prove that solutions to the Boltzmann equation without cut-off satisfying pointwise bounds on some observables (mass, pressure, and suitable moments) enjoy a uniform bound in $L^\infty$ in the case of hard potentials. As a consequence,…
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…
The Boltzmann factor comes from the linear change in entropy of an infinite heat bath during a local fluctuation; small systems have significant nonlinear terms. We present theoretical arguments, experimental data, and Monte-Carlo…
The concept of hypocoercivity for linear evolution equations with dissipation is discussed and equivalent characterizations that were developed for the finite-dimensional case are extended to separable Hilbert spaces. Using the concept of a…
In the paper, we develop spectral theory to analyze the sharp asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Boltzmann equation around global Maxwellians in a three-dimensional infinite layer $\mathbb{R}^2\times (-1,1)$. The isothermal diffuse…
This work intends to prove that strong instabilities may appear for high order geometric optics expansions of weakly stable quasilinear hyperbolic boundary value problems, when the forcing boundary term is perturbed by a small amplitude…
We establish $L^2$-exponential decay properties for linear dissipative kinetic equations, including the time-relaxation and Fokker-Planck models, in bounded spatial domains with general boundary conditions that may not conserve mass. Their…
In the frame of the Boltzmann equation, wall-bounded flows of rarefied gases require the implementation of boundary conditions at the kinetic level. Such boundary conditions induce a discontinuity in the distribution function with respect…
We are concerned with the global existence and large time behavior of entropy solutions to the one dimensional unipolar hydrodynamic model for semiconductors in the form of Euler-Poisson equations in a bounded interval. In this paper, we…
In this paper, we study the Dirichlet boundary value problem of steady-state relativistic Boltzmann equation in half-line with hard potential model, given the data for the outgoing particles at the boundary and a relativistic global…
For general hyperbolic systems of conservation laws we show that dissipative weak solutions belonging to an appropriate Besov space $B^{\alpha,\infty}_q$ and satisfying a one-sided bound condition are unique within the class of dissipative…
Boundary effects play an important role in the study of hydrodynamic limits in the Boltzmann theory. We justify rigorously the validity of the hydrodynamic limit from the Boltzmann equation of soft potentials to the compressible Euler…
We study integrability properties of a general version of the Boltzmann collision operator for hard and soft potentials in $n$-dimensions. A reformulation of the collisional integrals allows us to write the weak form of the collision…

We solve a Kolmogorov-type hypoelliptic parabolic partial differential equation with a "side" boundary condition (in the direction of the weak H\"ormander condition). We construct an approximate boundary potential which captures the effect…
