In this paper, we study the Vlasov-Maxwell system in the non-relativistic limit, that is in the regime where the speed of light is a very large parameter. We consider data lying in the vicinity of homogeneous equilibria that are stable in the sense of Penrose (for the Vlasov-Poisson system), and prove Sobolev stability estimates that are valid for times which are polynomial in terms of the speed of light and of the inverse of size of initial perturbations. We build a kind of higher-order Vlasov-Darwin approximation which allows us to reach arbitrarily large powers of the speed of light.
In this work, we mainly concern the limiting behavior of the electromagnetic field of two species Vlasov-Maxwell-Botlzmann system in diffusive limits. As knudsen numbers goes to zero, the electric magnetic and magnetic field may perserve or vanish. We verify rigorously Navier-Stokes, Navier-Stokes-Poisson and Navier-Stokes Maxwell limit of the two species Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system on the torus in three dimension. The justification is based on the unified and uniform estimates of solutions to the dimensionless Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann. The uniform estimates of solutions are obtained by em…
In this work, the magnetohydrodynamics system is formally derived from two species Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system. By employing the hypocoercivity of the linear Boltzmann operator and overcoming the difficulties resulting from the singular Lorentz term, we first obtain the uniform estimates of solutions with respect to the Knudsen number and then derive the magnetohydrodynamics system from the dimensionless Valsov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system.
The time evolution of a collisionless plasma is modeled by the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system which couples the Vlasov equation (the transport equation) with the Maxwell equations of electrodynamics. In this work, the setting is two and one-half dimensional, that is, the distribution functions of the particles species are independent of the third space dimension. We consider the case that the plasma is located in an infinitely long cylinder and is influenced by an external magnetic field. We prove existence of stationary solutions and give conditions on the external magnetic field under wh…
We consider the plasma confined in a general axisymmetric spatial domain with perfect conducting boundary which reflects particles specularly, and look at a certain class of equilibria, assuming axisymmetry in the problem. We prove a sharp criterion of spectral stability under these settings. Moreover, we provide several explicit families of stable/unstable equilibria using this criterion.
A new continuation criterion for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system
相对论性Vlasov-Maxwell方程组在有限能量初值充分正则条件下整体解的存在性是一个长期存在的问题。Alfressey-Strauss（1986）的主要结果表明，只要$f$的动量支撑保持有界，解$(f, E, B)$就保持$C^1$。后来Bouchut-Golse-Pallard（2003）和Klainerman-Staffilani（2002）给出了替代证明。证明了只要$f$在投影到任意二维平面上的动量支集有界，$(f, E, B)$就保持$C^1$ .
We study smooth, global-in-time solutions of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system that possess arbitrarily large charge densities and electric fields. In particular, we construct spherically symmetric solutions that describe a thin shell of equally charged particles concentrating arbitrarily close to the origin and which give rise to charge densities and electric fields as large as one desires at some finite time. We show that these solutions exist even for arbitrarily small initial data or any desired mass. In the latter case, the time at which solutions concentrate can also be made arbitra…
Strichartz estimates and moment bounds for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system II. Continuation criteria in the 3D case
在动量空间中考虑了没有紧支撑的$3$维相对论Vlasov-Maxwell系统.我们证明了两个连续的标准，这个系统的解决方案。首先，我们证明了当电磁场沿任意特征线的积分被假定为有界时，正则解可以连续。这可以被看作是对具有非紧动量支持的经典结果的推广。其次，我们扩展了我们的同伴论文（第一部分）中的方法，证明了只要$\|\pel_0^þ f \|_{L^q_xL^1_{\pel}}$对$þ>\frac 2q$，$2<q\leq \infty$保持有界，正则解就可以扩展。这改进了Pallard（2005）以前的结果。
This paper is devoted to the study of relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system in three space dimension. For a class of large initial data, we prove the global existence of classical solution with sharp decay estimate. The initial Maxwell field is allowed to be arbitrarily large and the initial density distribution is assumed to be small and decay with rate $(1+|x|+|v|)^{-9-}$. In particular, there is no restriction on the support of the initial data.
The time evolution of a collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Maxwell system which couples the Vlasov equation (the transport equation) with the Maxwell equations of electrodynamics. We only consider a 'two-dimensional' version of the problem since existence of global, classical solutions of the full three-dimensional problem is not known. We add external currents to the system, in applications generated by coils, to control the plasma in a proper way. After considering global existence of solutions to this system, differentiability of the control-to-state operator is proved. In applic…
Following closely the classical works [8]-[12] by Glassey, Strauss, and Schaeffer, we present a version of the Glassey-Strauss representation for the Vlasov-Maxwell systems in a 3D half space when the boundary is the perfect conductor.
For the whole range of cutoff intermolecular interactions, we give a rigorous mathematical justification of the limit from the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system to the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system as the light speed tends to infinity.Such a limit is shown to hold global-in-time in the perturbative framework.The key point in our analysis is to deduce certain a priori estimates which are independent of the light speed and the main difficulty is due to the degeneracy of the dissipative effect of the electromagnetic field for large light speed.
We consider the one and one-half dimensional multi-species relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system with non-decaying(in space) initial data. We prove its well-posedness and nonrelativistic limit as the speed of light $c\rightarrow\infty$. These results mainly rely on a delicate analysis of energy structure and application of estimates along the characteristic lines.
Given any smooth, suitably small initial data, which decays polynomially at infinity, we prove global regularity for the $3D$ relativistic massive Vlasov-Maxwell system. In particular, the compact support assumption, which is widely used in the literature, is not imposed on the initial data. Our proofs are based on a combination of the Klainerman vector fields method and the Fourier method, which allows us to exploit a crucial hidden null structure in the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system.
We consider linear stability of steady states of 1(1/2) and 3D Vlasov-Maxwell systems for collisionless plasmas. The linearized systems can be written as separable Hamiltonian systems with constraints. By using a general theory for separable Hamiltonian systems, we recover the sharp linear stability criteria obtained previously by different approaches. Moreover, we obtain the exponential trichotomy estimates for the linearized Vlasov-Maxwell systems in both relativistic and nonrelativistic cases.
It is shown that the "tangential" electric and magnetic fields, in the Glassey-Strauss representation formulas, are in fact bounded in $L^\infty_{{\rm loc},\,t} L^{2+δ}_x$ for some $δ>0$.
We prove almost sharp decay estimates for the small data solutions and their derivatives of the Vlasov-Maxwell system in dimension $n \geq 4$. The smallness assumption concerns only certains weighted $L^1$ or $L^2$ norms of the initial data. In particular, no compact support assumption is required on the Vlasov or the Maxwell fields. The main ingredients of the proof are vector field methods for both the kinetic and the wave equations, null properties of the Vlasov-Maxwell system to control high velocities and a new decay estimate for the velocity average of the solution of the relativistic ma…
We prove a global-in-time limit from the two-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system to the two-fluid incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Maxwell system with Ohm's law. Besides the techniques developed for the classical solutions to the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann equations in the past years, such as the nonlinear energy method and micro-macro decomposition are employed, key roles are played by the decay properties of both the electric field and the wave equation with linear damping of the divergence free magnetic field. This is a companion paper of [N. Jiang and Y.-L. Luo, \emph{Ann. PDE} 8 (20…
We prove global existence of the $3D$ relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system for a class of arbitrary large regular initial data with spherical symmetry, in which the initial distribution function of particles is assumed to decay fast but polynomially towards infinity.
We study the "one and one-half" dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell-Fokker-Planck system and obtain the first results concerning well-posedness of solutions. Specifically, we prove the global-in-time existence and uniqueness in the large of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem and a gain in regularity of the distribution function in its momentum argument.
Motivated by recent models of current driven magnetization dynamics, we examine the coupling of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and classical electron transport governed by the Vlasov-Maxwell system. The interaction is based on space-time gyro-coupling in the form of emergent electromagnetic fields of quantized helicity that add up to the conventional Maxwell fields. We construct global weak solutions of the coupled system in the framework of frustrated magnets with competing first and second order gradient interactions known to host topological solitons such as magnetic skyrmions and hop…
The global-in-time existence of classical solutions to the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell (RVM) system in three space dimensions remains elusive after nearly four decades of mathematical research. In this note, a simplified ``toy model'' is presented and studied. This toy model retains one crucial aspect of the RVM system: the phase-space evolution of the distribution function is governed by a transport equation whose forcing term satisfies a wave equation with finite speed of propagation.
