Stability of Global Maxwellian For Non-Linear Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck Equations

In this article, we establish the exponential time decay of smooth solutions around a global Maxwellian to the non-linear Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck equations in the whole space by uniform-in-time energy estimates. The non-linear coupling of macroscopic part and Fokker–Planck operator in the model brings new difficulties for the energy estimates, which is resolved by adding tailored weighted-in-v energy estimates suitable for the Fokker–Planck operator.
