We consider classical solutions to the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation on a bounded domain $mathcal O subset~mathbb{R}^d$ in position, and we obtain a probabilistic representation of the solutions using the Langevin diffusion process with absorbing boundary conditions on the boundary of the phase-space cylindrical domain $D = mathcal O times mathbb{R}^d$. Furthermore, a Harnack inequality, as well as a maximum principle, is provided on $D$ for solutions to this kinetic Fokker-Planck equation, together with the existence of a smooth transition density for the associated absorbed Langevin process. This transition density is shown to satisfy an explicit Gaussian upper-bound. Finally, the continuity and positivity of this transition density at the boundary of $D$ is also studied. All these results are in particular crucial to study the behavior of the Langevin diffusion process when it is trapped in a metastable state defined in terms of positions.

In this paper we study second order stochastic differential equations with measurable and density-distribution dependent coefficients. Through establishing a maximum principle for kinetic Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equations with distribution-valued in homogeneous term, we show the existence of weak solutions under mild assumptions. Moreover, by using the Holder regularity estimate obtained recently in cite{GIMV19}, we also show the well-posedness of generalized martingale problems when diffusion coefficients only depend on the position variable (not necessarily continuous). Even in the non density-distribution dependent case, it seems that this is the first result about the well-posedness of SDEs with measurable diffusion coefficients.

We consider a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation governing the evolution of the density of interacting and diffusive matter in the space of positions and velocities. We use a probabilistic interpretation to obtain convergence towards equilibrium in Wasser stein distance with an explicit exponential rate. We also prove a propagation of chaos property for an associated particle system, and give rates on the approximation of the solution by the particle system. Finally, a transportation inequality for the distribution of the particle system leads to quantitative deviation bounds on the approximation of the equilibrium solution of the equation by an empirical mean of the particles at given time.

We study the long time behaviour of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with mean field interaction, whose limit is often called Vlasov-Fkker-Planck equation. We prove a uniform (in the number of particles) exponential convergence to equilibrium for t he solutions in the weighted Sobolev space H 1 ($mu$) with a rate of convergence which is explicitly computable and independent of the number of particles. The originality of the proof relies on functional inequalities and hypocoercivity with Lyapunov type conditions, usually not suitable to provide adimensional results.

We derive a diffusion approximation for the kinetic Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation in bounded spatial domains with specular reflection type boundary conditions. The method of proof involves the construction of a particular class of test functions to b e chosen in the weak formulation of the kinetic model. This involves the analysis of the underlying Hamiltonian dynamics of the kinetic equation coupled with the reflection laws at the boundary. This approach only demands the solution family to be weakly compact in some weighted Hilbert space rather than the much tricky $mathrm L^1$ setting.
In this paper, we develop an operator splitting scheme for the fractional kinetic Fokker-Planck equation (FKFPE). The scheme consists of two phases: a fractional diffusion phase and a kinetic transport phase. The first phase is solved exactly using t he convolution operator while the second one is solved approximately using a variational scheme that minimizes an energy functional with respect to a certain Kantorovich optimal transport cost functional. We prove the convergence of the scheme to a weak solution to FKFPE. As a by-product of our analysis, we also establish a variational formulation for a kinetic transport equation that is relevant in the second phase. Finally, we discuss some extensions of our analysis to more complex systems.
