From a kinetic equation to a diffusion under an anomalous scaling

Giada Basile (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

A linear Boltzmann equation is interpreted as the forward equation for the probability density of a Markov process ( K ( t ) , i ( t ) , Y ( t ) ) on ( 𝕋 2 × { 1 , 2 } × 2 ) , where 𝕋 2 is the two-dimensional torus. Here ( K ( t ) , i ( t ) ) is an autonomous reversible jump process, with waiting times between two jumps with finite expectation value but infinite variance. Y ( t ) is an additive functional of K , defined as 0 t v ( K ( s ) ) d s , where | v | 1 for small k . We prove that the rescaled process ( N ln N ) - 1 / 2 Y ( N t ) converges in distribution to a two-dimensional Brownian motion. As a consequence, the appropriately...
