Abstract: This note deals with the linear Boltzmann equation in the non-compact setting with a confining potential which is close to quadratic. We prove that in this case, starting from a smooth initial datum, the Fisher Information (hence, the relative entropy) with respect to the stationary state converges exponentially fast to zero.

Review text

The paper deals with the long-time convergence to equilibrium of the solution of a linear Boltzmann equation for a system of particles influenced by a potential close to be quadratic. The collision operator appearing at the right-hand side of the equation describes random collisions with other particles with Gaussian velocities. Two cases are taken into account: in the first one all the components of the velocity are refreshed, in the second one only one component per time. Smooth initial data are considered, and it is shown that the Fisher Information (which bounds from above the relative entropy) with respect to the stationary state converges exponentially fast to zero.
