Global Hypoellipticity and Compactness of Resolvent for Fokker-Planck Operator
In this paper we study the Fokker-Planck operator with potential V(x), and
analyze some kind of conditions imposed on the potential to ensure the validity
of global hypoelliptic estimates. As a consequence, we obtain the compactness
of resolvent of the Fokker-Planck operator if either the Witten Laplacian on
0-forms has a compact resolvent or some additional assumption on the behavior
of the potential at infinity is fulfilled. This work improves the previous
results of H\'erau-Nier and Helffer-Nier, by obtaining a better global
hypoelliptic estimate under weaker assumptions on the potential.Comment: Lemma 4.6 is correcte
Global hypoelliptic and symbolic estimates for the linearized Boltzmann operator without angular cutoff
In this article we provide global subelliptic estimates for the linearized
inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff, and show that some
global gain in the spatial direction is available although the corresponding
operator is not elliptic in this direction. The proof is based on a multiplier
method and the so-called Wick quantization, together with a careful analysis of
the symbolic properties of the Weyl symbol of the Boltzmann collision operator
Analytic smoothness effect of solutions for spatially homogeneous Landau equation
In this paper, we study the smoothness effect of Cauchy problem for the
spatially homogeneous Landau equation in the hard potential case and the
Maxwellian molecules case. We obtain the analytic smoothing effect for the
solutions under rather weak assumptions on the initial datum.Comment: 16 page
