A semigroup approach to the convergence rate of a collisionless gas

A Bernou - arXiv preprint arXiv:1911.03228, 2019 - arxiv.org
We study the rate of convergence to equilibrium for a collisionless (Knudsen) gas enclosed
in a vessel in dimension $ n\in\{2, 3\} $. By semigroup arguments, we prove that in the $ L …

On quantitative hypocoercivity estimates based on Harris-type theorems

H Yoldaş - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
This Review concerns recent results on the quantitative study of convergence toward the
stationary state for spatially inhomogeneous kinetic equations. We focus on analytical …

On the speed of approach to equilibrium for a collisionless gas

K Aoki, F Golse - arXiv preprint arXiv:1009.3004, 2010 - arxiv.org
We investigate the speed of approach to Maxwellian equilibrium for a collisionless gas
enclosed in a vessel whose wall are kept at a uniform, constant temperature, assuming …

A coupling approach for the convergence to equilibrium for a collisionless gas

A Bernou, N Fournier - The Annals of Applied Probability, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
We use a probabilistic approach to study the rate of convergence to equilibrium for a
collisionless (Knudsen) gas in dimension equal to or larger than 2. The use of a coupling …

Free molecular flow with boundary effect

HW Kuo, TP Liu, LC Tsai - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2013 - Springer
We study the dissipative effect of the boundary condition in the kinetic theory. We focus our
study on the simplest situation of the free molecular flow with diffuse reflection boundary …

On the convergence to equilibrium for degenerate transport problems

É Bernard, F Salvarani - Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2013 - Springer
We give a counterexample which shows that the asymptotic rate of convergence to the
equilibrium state for the transport equation, with a degenerate cross section and in the …

Convergence toward the steady state of a collisionless gas with Cercignani–Lampis boundary condition

A Bernou - Communications in Partial Differential Equations, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
We study the asymptotic behavior of the kinetic free-transport equation enclosed in a regular
domain, on which no symmetry assumption is made, with Cercignani–Lampis boundary …

Equilibrating effects of boundary and collision in rarefied gases

HW Kuo, TP Liu, LC Tsai - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2014 - Springer
We investigate the time-asymptotic behavior for rarefied gases in the spherical domain with
variable boundary temperature in R^ d, R d, d= 1, 2, 3, under the diffuse reflection boundary …

[HTML][HTML] Rates of convergence to equilibrium for collisionless kinetic equations in slab geometry

M Mokhtar-Kharroubi, D Seifert - Journal of Functional Analysis, 2018 - Elsevier
This work deals with free transport equations with partly diffuse stochastic boundary
operators in slab geometry. Such equations are governed by stochastic semigroups in L 1 …

Equilibrating effect of Maxwell-type boundary condition in highly rarefied gas

HW Kuo - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2015 - Springer
We study the equilibrating effects of the boundary and intermolecular collision in the kinetic
theory for rarefied gases. We consider the Maxwell-type boundary condition, which has …
