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.

Convergence toward the steady state of a collisionless gas with Cercignani–Lampis boundary condition

This article is the starting point of my project focusing on the Cercignani-Lampis boundary condition in kinetic theory. You might also want to check the related preprint Asymptotic Behavior of Degenerate Linear Kinetic Equations with Non-Isothermal Boundary Conditions, where I consider collisional models with the same boundary conditions.
