Fractional diffusion limit for a kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with diffusive boundary conditions in the half-line
Résumé
We consider a particle living in $\mathbb{R}_+$, whose velocity is a positive recurrent diffusion with heavy-tailed invariant distribution when the particle lives in $(0,\infty)$. When it hits the boundary $x=0$, the particle restarts with a random strictly positive velocity. We show that the properly rescaled position process converges weakly to a stable process reflected on its infimum.
