FKT - Frontiers in kinetic theory: connecting microscopic to macroscopic scales - KineCon 2022

This is based on a joint work with Helge Dietert. I will discuss the problem of hypocoercivity when the rate of collisions depends on the spatial variable, and the connection of this problem to control theory. In a recent work with Helge Dietert we have been focussing on the problem of finding the spatially dependent jump rate which maximises the rate of convergence to equilibrium. I will discuss our results for the simple Goldstein-Taylor model and our hopes for more complicated models. I will try and end with discussing a number of out unanswered problems, so come along and so you can tell me what you think the answers are!
