Global $L_p$ estimates for kinetic Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck equations in divergence form

Abstract

We present a priori estimates and unique solvability results in the mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces for kinetic Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck (KFP) equation in divergence form. The leading coefficients are bounded uniformly nondegenerate with respect to the velocity variable $v$ and satisfy a vanishing mean oscillation (VMO) type condition. We consider the $L_2$ case separately and treat more general equations which include the relativistic KFP equation.
