Hypocoercivity of linear kinetic equations via Harris's theorem

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2176172




Abstract: We study convergence to equilibrium of the linear relaxation Boltzmann (also known as linear BGK) and the linear Boltzmann equations either on the torus (x,v)inmathbbTdimesmathbbRd or on the whole space (x,v)inmathbbRdimesmathbbRd with a confining potential. We present explicit convergence results in total variation or weighted total variation norms (alternatively L1 or weighted L1 norms). The convergence rates are exponential when the equations are posed on the torus, or with a confining potential growing at least quadratically at infinity. Moreover, we give algebraic convergence rates when subquadratic potentials considered. We use a method from the theory of Markov processes known as Harris's Theorem.
