Fractional diffusion limit for a fractional Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation

This paper is devoted to the rigorous derivation of the macroscopic limit of a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation in which the Laplacian is replaced by a fractional Laplacian. The evolution of the density is governed by a fractional heat equation with the addition of a convective term coming from the external force. The analysis is performed by a modified test function method and by obtaining a priori estimates from quadratic entropy bounds. In addition, we give the proof of existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Vlasov-fractional-Fokker-Planck equation.
