Diffusion limit of Fokker−Planck equation with heavy tail equilibria
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Tome 49 (2015) no. 1, pp. 1-17.

This paper is devoted to the diffusion limit of the Fokker−Planck equation of plasma physics, in which the equilibrium function decays towards zero at infinity like a negative power function. We prove that for an appropriate time scale, in a suitable weighted Sobolev space, the small mean free path limit gives rise to a diffusion equation.
