Hypocoercivity for kinetic linear equations in bounded domains with general Maxwell boundary condition
We establish the convergence to the equilibrium for various linear collisional kinetic equations (including linearized Boltzmann and Landau equations) with physical local conservation laws in bounded domains with general Maxwell boundary condition. Our approach allows us to treat general domains with all types of boundary conditions (including the specular reflection boundary condition) in a unified framework.

Long-Time Behavior of Kinetic Equations with Boundary Effects
This is the manuscript of my PhD thesis. Some slides are also available, from which the image above, taken from the simulation of the evolution of 5000 particles in a star-shaped domain following a free-transport evolution with boundary effects, is extracted (I advise to open the pdf with Adobe, as embedded simulations work better there).
