On the Voltage-Conductance kinetic equation

Abstract

We consider the nonlinear Voltage-Conductance kinetic equation arising in neuroscience. We establish the existence of solutions in a weighted $L^\infty$ framework in a weak interaction regime. We also prove the linear asymptotic exponential stability of the steady state making constructive a recent estimate of Xu'an Dou et al. (2023). Both results are based in a fundamental way on some ultracontractivity property of theflow associated to the linear (possibly time dependent) Voltage-Conductance kinetic equation.
