Abstract

A collisionless plasma is modelled by the Vlasov–Poisson system in three space dimensions. A fixed background of positive charge, which is independent of time and space, is assumed. The situation in which mobile negative ions balance the positive charge as ∣x∣ tends to infinity is considered. Hence, the total positive charge and the total negative charge are infinite. Smooth solutions with appropriate asymptotic behaviour were shown to exist locally in time in a previous work. This paper studies the time behaviour of the net charge and a natural quantity related to energy, and shows that neither is constant in time in general. Also, neither quantity is positive definite. When the background density is a decreasing function of ∣v∣, a positive definite quantity is constructed which remains bounded. A priori bounds are obtained from this.

Batt showed that solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system remain smooth as long as the particle speeds remain finite. Pfaffelmoser was the first to establish a bound on the particle speeds, completing the existence proof. Horst greatly improved this bound on the particle speeds. This article improves

The form of steady state solutions to the Vlasov᎐Poisson᎐Fokker᎐Planck system is known from the works of Dressler and others. In these papers an external < < potential is present which tends to infinity as x ª ϱ. It is shown here that this assumption is needed to obtain nontrivial steady states. Thi

Time-discrete variational schemes are introduced for both the Vlasov}Poisson}Fokker}Planck (VPFP) system and a natural regularization of the VPFP system. The time step in these variational schemes is governed by a certain Kantorovich functional (or scaled Wasserstein metric). The discrete variationa
