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 the rate of convergence to equilibrium of the solution of a Fokker--Planck type equation introduced by one of the authors in 2006 to describe opinion formation in a multi-agent system. The main feature of this Fokker--Planck…

In recent years, several fractional generalizations of the usual Kramers-Fokker-Planck equation have been presented. Using an idea of Fogedby [H.C. Fogedby, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 50}, 041103 (1994), we show how these equations are related to…
This paper introduces a novel closed-form strategy that dynamically modifies the reference of a pre-compensated nonlinear system to ensure the satisfaction of a set of convex constraints. The main idea consists of translating constraints in…
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…
