We first investigate the corresponding linearized operator and develop a method to prove stability estimates of its associated semigroup in large functional spaces. We then deduce existence, uniqueness and fast decay of the solutions to the nonlinear equation in a close-to-equilibrium framework. Our result drastically improves the set of initial data compared to the one considered by Guo and Strain who established similar results in [21, 37, 38]. Our functional framework is compatible with the non perturbative frameworks developed by Villani, Desvillettes and co-authors [42, 17, 16, 13], and our main result then makes possible to improve the speed of convergence to the equilibrium established therein.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-05T08:17:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coulomb potentials", "landau equation", "large functional spaces", "associated maxwellian equilibrium", "deduce existence" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
