In this paper we compute asymptotics of solutions of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with inelastic boundary conditions which indicate that the solutions are nonunique if $r < r_c$. The nonuniqueness is due to the fact that different solutions can interact in a different manner with a Dirac mass which appears at the singular point $(x,v)=(0,0)$. In particular, this nonuniqueness explains the different behaviours found in the physics literature for numerical simulations of the stochastic differential equation associated to the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation. The asymptotics obtained in this paper will be used in a companion paper [34] to prove rigorously nonuniqueness of solutions for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with inelastic boundary conditions.
