Fractional hypocoercivity in bounded domains in the anomalous diffusion limit

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a result of exponential stability for several dissipative linear kinetic equations with heavy-tailed equilibria. The approach, inspired by the so-called $L^2$-hypocoercivity method, is robust enough to provide estimates that are uniform in the anomalous diffusion limit. Moreover, it is able to deal with bounded domains with periodic boundary condition or general Maxwell boundary condition (from the pure specular to the pure diffusive case). In addition, our framework accommodates linear collisional operators that act simultaneously on the velocity and spatial variables.
