The Wigner-Fokker-Planck equation: Stationary states and large time behavior
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the linear Wigner-Fokker-Planck equation subject to confining potentials which are smooth perturbations of the harmonic oscillator potential. For a certain class of perturbations we prove that the equation admits a unique stationary solution in a weighted Sobolev space. A key ingredient of the proof is a new result on the existence of spectral gaps for Fokker-Planck type operators in certain weighted L2–spaces. In addition we show that the steady state corresponds to a positive density matrix operator with unit trace and that the solutions of the time-dependent problem converge towards the steady state with an exponential rate.

Pseudo-spectral Matrix and Normalized Grunwald Approximation for Numerical Solution of Time Fractional Fokker-Planck Equation
This paper presents a new numerical method to solve time fractional Fokker-Planck equation. The space dimension is discretized to the Gauss-Lobatto points, then we apply pseudo-spectral successive integration matrix for this dimension. This approach shows that with less number of points, we can approximate the solution with more accuracy. The numerical results of the examples are displayed.
متن کاملA numerical solver for a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation representation of neuronal network dynamics
To describe the collective behavior of large ensembles of neurons in neuronal network, a kinetic theory description was developed in [13, 12], where a macroscopic representation of the network dynamics was directly derived from the microscopic dynamics of individual neurons, which are modeled by conductance-based, linear, integrate-and-fire point neurons. A diffusion approximation then led to a...
متن کاملLow and High Field Scaling Limits for the Vlasov- and Wigner-poisson-fokker-planck Systems
This paper is concerned with scaling limits in kinetic semiconductor models. For the classical Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck equation and its quantum mechanical counterpart, the Wigner-Poisson-Fokker-Planck equation, three distinguished scaling regimes are presented. Using Hilbert and Chapman-Enskog expansions, we derive two drift-diffusion type approximations. The test case of a n+−n−n+ diode r...

متن کاملThe Harmonic Oscillator with Dissipation within the Theory of Open Quantum Systems
Time evolution of the expectation values of various dynamical operators of the harmonic oscillator with dissipation is analitically obtained within the framework of the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems. We deduce the density matrix of the damped harmonic oscillator from the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for the coherent state representation, obtained from the master equation fo...
