Weak and Perron Solutions for Stationary Kramers-Fokker-Planck Equations in Bounded Domains (2405.04070v3)

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate weak solutions and Perron-Wiener-Brelot solutions to the linear stationary Kramers-Fokker-Planck equation in bounded domains. We establish the existence of weak solutions in product domains by applying the Lions-Lax-Milgram theorem and the vanishing viscosity method. Furthermore, we show that these solutions coincide in well-behaved domains. Building on the existence of weak solutions in product domains, we develop the foundational theory of Perron-Wiener-Brelot solutions in arbitrary bounded domains. Our results rely on recent advancements in the theory of kinetic Fokker-Planck equations with rough coefficients.
