Global Solutions to the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck Equation with Local Alignment Forces Under Specular Reflection Boundary Condition

In this article, we establish the existence of global mild solutions to the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation with local alignment forces under specular reflection boundary conditions in the low-regularity function space Lk1LT∞Lv2. A key difficulty is that the macroscopic averaged velocity u does not directly possess a dissipative structure in the equation. To overcome this, we rely on the dissipation u−b from the linear part, combined with the dissipation of the macroscopic component b derived from the associated macroscopic equation. Moreover, since no direct energy functional is available for u, we fully exploit the dissipative mechanisms of both u−b and b when handling the estimates for the nonlinear terms.

Abstract

In this article, we establish the existence of global mild solutions to the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation with local alignment forces under specular reflection boundary conditions in the low-regularity function space Lk1LT∞Lv2. A key difficulty is that the macroscopic averaged velocity u does not directly possess a dissipative structure in the equation. To overcome this, we rely on the dissipation u−b from the linear part, combined with the dissipation of the macroscopic component b derived from the associated macroscopic equation. Moreover, since no direct energy functional is available for u, we fully exploit the dissipative mechanisms of both u−b and b when handling the estimates for the nonlinear terms.
