Abstract
A collisionless plasma is modelled by the Vlasov–Poisson system in one dimension. A fixed background of positive charge, dependent only upon velocity, is assumed and the situation in which the mobile negative ions balance the positive charge as |x| → ∞ is considered. Thus, the total positive charge and the total negative charge are infinite. In this paper, the charge density of the system is shown to be compactly supported. More importantly, both the electric field and the number density are determined explicitly for large values of |x|. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract We show the global existence of classical solutions of the Vlasov‐Poisson system and improve the known growth estimates.
We propose a result of local existence and uniqueness of a mild solution to the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system. We establish the result for an initial condition lying in the space W 1,1 (R 2 ), then we extend it to initial conditions lying in the space BV(R 2 ), without any assumption of cont
An instability condition is derived for the Hartree-Fock solution so that it can be applied to the system in which the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied bands cross at the in-between point in the Brillouin zone. The instability check developed here is further applied to a metallic single-wa
## Abstract We propose two different proofs of the fact that Oseen's vortex is the unique solution of the two‐dimensional Navier–Stokes equation with a Dirac mass as initial vorticity. The first argument, due to C. E. Wayne and the second named author, is based on an entropy estimate for the vortic
