Abstract
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a kinetic equation describing the evolution of particles subject to the sum of a fixed, confining, Hamiltonian, and a small time-oscillating perturbation. Additionally, the equation involves an interaction operator which projects the distribution function onto functions of the fixed Hamiltonian. The paper aims at providing a classical counterpart to the derivation of rate equations from the atomic Bloch equations. Here, the homogenization procedure leads to a diffusion equation in the energy variable. The presence of the interaction operator regularizes the limit process and leads to finite diffusion coefficients.
