Abstract: We study the degenerate Kolmogorov equations (also known as kinetic Fokker-Planck equations) in nondivergence form. The leading coefficients aij are merely measurable in t and satisfy the vanishing mean oscillation (VMO) condition in x,v with respect to some quasi-metric. We also assume boundedness and uniform nondegeneracy of aij with respect to v. We prove global a priori estimates in weighted mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces and solvability results. We also show an application of the main result to the Landau equation. Our proof does not rely on any kernel estimates.


The authors prove global a priori estimates in weighted mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces and, also, unique solvability results for solutions of equations associated to kinetic Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck operators in nondivergence form. In the last part of the paper is proved an application of the ontained results to the Landau equation.\par The authors point out that their proof does not rely on any kernel estimates and fundamental solution, as frequently is considered. The paper generalizes the aforementioned results in several directions, precisely, first, their assumption on the coefficients of the highest order derivatives is weaker than the ones presented in the literature, secondly, the authors prove a priori estimates in the weighted mixed-norm space where each direction \(t, v_1,\dots,v_d\) has a different Muckenhoupt weight and finally, they also prove new a priori estimate.
