We consider hypoelliptic equations of kinetic Fokker-Planck type, also known as Kolmogorov or ultraparabolic equations, with rough coefficients in the drift-diffusion operator. We give novel short quantitative proofs of the De Giorgi intermediate-value Lemma as well as weak Harnack and Harnack inequalities. This implies Hölder continuity with quantitative estimates. The paper is self-contained.
Nous considérons des équations hypoelliptiques de type Fokker-Planck cinétique, également appelées équations de Kolmogorov ou ultraparaboliques, avec des coefficients sans régularité dans l’opérateur de dérive-diffusion. Nous donnons de nouvelles preuves quantitatives du lemme des valeurs intermédiaires de De Giorgi ainsi que des inégalités de Harnack faibles et fortes. Cela implique la continuité höldérienne avec bornes explicites. L’article ne fait pas appel à des résultats précédents.
