Stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation: Existence, characterization and phase-transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study the set of stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) equation. This equation describes the time evolution of the probability distribution of a particle moving under the influence of a double-well potential, an interaction potential, a friction force and a stochastic force. We prove, under suitable assumptions, that the VFP equation does not have a unique stationary solution and that there exists a phase transition. Our study relies on the recent results by Tugaut and coauthors regarding the McKean-Vlasov equation.

On Long Time Asymptotics of the Vlasov-fokker-planck Equation and of the Vlasov-poisson-fokker-planck System with Coulombic and Newtonian Potentials
We prove that the solution of the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation converges to the unique stationary solution with same mass as time tends to infinity. The same result holds in the repulsive coulombic case for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system; the newtonian attractive case is also studied. We establish positive and negative answers to the question of existence of a stationary solution for ...
متن کاملThe Navier-Stokes-Vlasov-Fokker-Planck System near Equilibrium
This paper is concerned with a system that couples the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation. Such a system arises in the modeling of sprays, where a dense phase interacts with a disperse phase. The coupling arises from the Stokes drag force exerted by a phase on the other. We study the global-in-time existence of classical solutions for data close to an eq...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t We consider a system coupling the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations to the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation. The coupling arises from a drag force exerted by each other. We establish existence of global weak solutions for the system in two and three dimensions. Furthermore, we obtain the existence and uniqueness result of global smooth solutions for dimen...
متن کاملGlobal Classical Solutions for the “one and One-half” Dimensional Relativistic Vlasov-maxwell-fokker-planck System
In a recent paper Calogero and Alcántara [Kinet. Relat. Models, 4 (2011), pp. 401-426] derived a Lorentz-invariant Fokker-Planck equation, which corresponds to the evolution of a particle distribution associated with relativistic Brownian Motion. We study the “one and one-half” dimensional version of this problem with nonlinear electromagnetic interactions the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Fokker...
متن کاملStability of the Front under a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck Dynamics
We consider a kinetic model for a system of two species of particles interacting through a long range repulsive potential and a reservoir at given temperature. The model is described by a set of two coupled Vlasov-Fokker-Plank equations. The important front solution, which represents the phase transition, is a one-dimensional stationary solution on the real line with given asymptotic values at ...
