## Communicated by P. Markowich Abstract--Motivated by concentration effects of the energy and singular behaviour of the distribution of particles, a new concept of solution, called functional solution, for the Vlasov-Poisson system in three dimensions is introduced. Global existence of functional

## Abstract We investigate the nonlinear instability of periodic Bernstein‐Greene‐Kruskal (BGK) waves. Starting from an exponentially growing mode to the linearized equation, we proved nonlinear instability in the __L__^1^‐norm of the electric field. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
The Vlasov Poisson system is a partial differential equation widely used to describe collisionless plasma. It is formulated in a six-dimensional phase space, this prohibits a numerical solution on a complete phase space grid. In some applications, however, spherical symmetry is given, which introduc
