Abstract:
We present a factorization method for non-symmetric linear operators: the method allows to enlarge functional spaces while preserving spectral properties for the considered operators. In particular, spectral gap and related convergence towards equilibrium follow easily by hypo-coercivity and resolvent estimates. Applications of this theory on several kinetic equations will be presented.Date: Monday, April 18, 2011
