A new scheme for numerical integration of the 1D2V relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system is proposed. Assuming that all particles in a cell of the phase space move with the same velocity as that of the particle located at the center of the cell at the beginning of each time step, we successfully integr

โฆ Synopsis
We consider a space-periodic version of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system describing a collisionless plasma consisting of electrons and positively charged ions. As our main result, we prove that certain spacially homogeneous stationary solutions are nonlinearly stable. To this end we also establish global existence of weak solutions to the corresponding initial value problem. Our investigation is motivated by a corresponding result for the Vlasov-Poisson system, cf. [1, 141.

## Abstract We consider the linear stability problem for a symmetric equilibrium of the relativistic VlasovโMaxwell (RVM) system. For an equilibrium whose distribution function depends monotonically on the particle energy, we obtain a sharp linear stability criterion. The growing mode is proved to
