## Abstract We consider the linear stability problem for a symmetric equilibrium of the relativistic Vlasov‐Maxwell (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

## Communicated by H. Neunzert We study stationary solutions of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system of plasma physics which have a special form introduced (in the classical setting) by Rudykh, Sidorov and Sinitsy and establish their existence under suitable assumptions on the ansatz functions.

## Abstract The time evolution of a collisionless plasma is studied in the case when the Viasov density ƒ is a function of the time, one space variable and two velocity variables. The electromagnetic fields __E, B__ also have a special structure, and the magnetic field __B__ is non‐trivial. It is s
## 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.
