Abstract: In this paper, we develop a Galerkin-type approximation, with quantitative error estimates, for weak solutions to the Cauchy problem for kinetic Fokker-Planck equations in the domain

(0, T) i m e s D i m e s m a t h b b R^{d}

, where

D

is either

m a t h b b T^{d}

or

m a t h b b R^{d}

. Our approach is based on a Hermite expansion in the velocity variable only, with a hyperbolic system that appears as the truncation of the Brinkman hierarchy, as well as ideas from

h r e f a r X i v : 1902.04037 v 2 A l b + 21

and additional energy-type estimates that we have developed. We also establish the regularity of the solution based on the regularity of the initial data and the source term.
