Abstract

We study the long time behavior of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with mean field interaction, whose limit is often called Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation. We prove a uniform (in the number of particles) exponential convergence to equilibrium for the solutions in the weighted Sobolev space H1(μ) with a rate of convergence which is explicitly computable and independent of the number of particles. The originality of the proof relies on functional inequalities and hypocoercivity with Lyapunov type conditions, usually not suitable to provide adimensional results.
