13 Fokker-Planck equations 13 Relaxation to self-similarity t u = u in R d, t > 0, u(0) = u 0 0, Self-similar solution: U(x, t) = (2π(2t + 1)) d/2 exp ) ( x 2 2(2t+1) R d u 0 dx = 1 Question: How fast u(t) U(t) 0 as t? Main idea: transformation y = x/ 2t + 1, s = log 2t + 1 leads to Fokker-Planck equation s v = div ( v + yv), v(y,s) = e ds u(e s y, 1 2 (e2s 1)) Solution U(x, t) becomes M(y) = (2π) d/2 exp( y 2 /2) Theorem: Let u 0 L 1 (R d ) be nonnegative with unit mass. Then u(t) U(t) L 1 (2t + 1) 1/2 8H 1 [u 0 ]

14 Fokker-Planck equations 14 Consider more general setting: t u = div ( u + u V ) in R d, t > 0, u(0) = u 0 Potential: lim x V (x) = Steady state: u = Ze V, Z = ( R d e V dx) 1 Entropy: φ smooth convex, φ(1) ( = ) φ (1) = 0 u H φ [u] = u dx R d φ u Theorem: (Arnold-Markowich-Toscani-Unterreiter 2001) Let u 0 log u 0 L 1, 2 V λ > 0, 1/φ concave. Then H φ [u(t)] e 2λt H φ [u 0 ], t > 0 u(t) u L 1 (R d ) e λt C φ H φ [u 0 ] 1/2 Example: φ(s) = s(log s 1) + 1, V (x) = 1 2 x 2

15 Fokker-Planck equations 15 Proof: (Bakry/Emery 1983) First time derivative: dh φ = φ (ρ) ρ 2 u dx 0, ρ = u dt R d u Second time derivative: D φ = dh φ dt (entropy dissipation) dd φ = 2λD φ quadratic polynomial in ρ, 2 ρ dt 2λD φ = 2λ dh φ dt Integrate over (t, ): lim D φ[u(s)] } s {{} =0 D φ [u(t)] 2λ lim s H φ [u(s)] }{{} =0 2λH φ [u(t)] Gronwall lemma: dh φ dt 2λH φ H φ [u(t)] e 2λt H φ [u 0 ] Csiszár-Kullback inequality: {}}{ u(t) u L 1 C φ (H φ [u(t)] H φ [u ]) 1/2 C φ e λt H φ [u 0 ] 1/2 =0

16 Fokker-Planck equations 16 Comments: Difficult part: justify computations for weak solutions Where is the logarithmic Sobolev inequality? Answer: H φ [u]= φ(ρ)u dx 1 R d 2λ Example: V (x) = 1 2 x 2, φ(s) = s(log s 1) + 1 R d u log udx + log(2π) d/2 + d 2 R d φ (ρ) ρ 2 u dx = 1 2λ D φ[u] R d u 2 dx Benefit: Simultaneous proof of decay rate and log Sobolev ineq. Generalization to nonlinear case possible

17 Fokker-Planck equations 17 Nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation t u = div ( f(u) + u V ) in R 2, t > 0, u(0) = u 0 0 Assume: f(u) = u m with m > 1 (to simplify), 2 V λ > 0 ( ) u H m 1 [u] = H[u] H[u ], H[u] = u R d m 1 + V (x) dx Theorem: (Carrillo-A.J.-Markowich-Toscani-Unterreiter 2001) Let u 0 log u 0 L 1, 2 V λ > 0. Then u(t) u L 1 C(H[u 0 ])e 2λt, t > 0 Proof: First time derivative: D[u] = dh dt 0 Second time derivative: dd dt = 2λD + R(t), R(t) 0 Integrate and use lim t D[u(t)] = 0 (not trivial!) Gronwall lemma and Csiszár-Kullback inequality

18 Fokker-Planck equations 18 Comments: If V (x) = 1 2 x 2, 1 2 < p = 1 2m 1 < 1, the functional inequality H [u] 1 ( ) u u m 1 2λ R d m 1 + V dx gives Gagliardo-Nirenberg ineq.

20 Degenerate parabolic systems 20 Aim: Time decay of solutions u(t) R N to u = 0 of t b(u) diva(u, u) = f(u) in R d, t > 0, b(u(0)) = b(u 0 ) Assumptions: b : R N R N monotone, b = χ, b(u) u 1/m a : R N R Nd R elliptic: (a(u, y) a(u, z)) (y z) α y z p, p 2 Examples: Porous-medium equation: b(u) = u 1/m, a = u Energy-transport system: b(u) = (n, 3 2nT), a = A(u) u, where n = T 3/2 e u 1: particle density, T = 1 u 2 : temperature Entropy: Let h(b(u)) = b(u) u χ(u) be the Legendre transform of χ H[u] = h(b(u))dx R d

21 Degenerate parabolic systems 21 t b(u) diva(u, u) = f(u) in R d, t > 0, b(u(0)) = b(u 0 ) Theorem: (Carrillo-A.J.-Markowich-Toscani-Unterreiter 2001) Let p > dm+d dm+1, γ = dm(p 1)+p d dm. Then u(t) L 1+1/m C 1 (H[u 0 ])(1 + C 2 t) m/(γ(m+1)), m > 1 2 u(t) L 1 C 1 (H[u 0 ])(1 + C 2 t) (m 1)/(γm), m > 1 Proof: Time derivative: dh dt α u p L p Nash inequality: u 1+θ L 1+1/m C u 1/m θm u L 1 L p dh dt α C p u 1/m p/m }{{ L 1 } αh[u] p(1+θ) p(1+θ) u } L{{ 1+1/m } C p M p/m M p/m =H[u] p(1+θ) Apply nonlinear Gronwall lemma and Csiszár-Kullback ineq.

22 Degenerate parabolic systems 22 t u div (A(u) u + V A(u) u) on T d, u(0) = u 0 Question: Can we extend Bakry-Emery technique to systems? Partial answers: (work in progress with Dolbeault & Matthes) Linear systems: Assume A = const., d = 1 H[u] = u Qudx, Q symm. positive definite T d If AQ 1 symmetric, V xx A λ then H[u(t)] H[u 0 ]e 2λt Nonlinear systems: Assume A(u) = A 0 + εa 1 (u), d = 1 1 N H[u] = u α α(α 1) i=1 T d i dx, α > 1 If A 1 (u) bounded, ε > 0 small, and conditions on V xx, α then κ > 0: H[u(t)] H[u 0 ]e κt

23 Summary 23 Summary: Entropy/entropy dissipation in kinetic and diffusion eqs. Allows one to prove explicit equilibration rates and convex Sobolev ineq. with (sometimes) optimal constants Extremely flexible for nonlinear equations and systems Discussion: Drawback of Bakry-Emery method: many integrations by parts Can this be made systematic? Can we exploit the entropy structure of diffusion systems? Answer: Yes! (See the next talk)
