Abstract

This is the third paper in a series concerning the study of steady states of a Fokker–Planck equation in a general domain in \({\mathbb R}^n\) with \(L^{p}_{loc}\) drift term and \(W^{1,p}_{loc}\) diffusion term for any \(p>n\). In this paper, we give some existence results of stationary measures of the Fokker–Planck equation under Lyapunov conditions which allow the degeneracy of diffusion.
