Quelques résultats d’hypocoercitivité en théorie cinétique collisionnelle

Mouhot, Clément

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles (Polytechnique) dit aussi "Séminaire Goulaouic-Schwartz" (2007-2008), Exposé no. 16, 19 p.

Nous présentons une introduction à un nouveau champ de recherche, l’hypocoercitivité. Nous énonçons quelques résultats obtenus récemment avec différents co-auteurs (Lukas Neumann, Jean Dolbeault, Christian Schmeiser) dans le cas des équations cinétiques collisionnelles, en particulier pour les équations de type Boltzmann. Puis nous présentons quelques perspectives de recherche à plus long terme, dans le but de dégager une théorie unifiée de l’hypocoercitivité en théorie cinétique collisionnelle.
