A kinetic Nash inequality and precise boundary behavior of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation

Abstract

In this paper, we prove a kinetic Nash type inequality and adapt it to a new functional inequality for functions in a kinetic Sobolev space with absorbing boundary conditions on the half-space. As an application, we address the boundary behavior of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equations in the half-space. Our main result is the sharp regularity of the solution at the absorbing boundary and grazing set.
