We show propagation of moments in velocity for the 3-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system with a uniform magnetic field $B = (0, 0, ω)$ by adapting the work of Lions, Perthame. The added magnetic field also produces singularities at times which are the multiples of the cyclotron period $t = \dfrac{2πk}ω, k \in \mathbb{N}$ . This result also allows to show propagation of regularity for the solution. For uniqueness, we extend Loeper's result by showing that the set of solutions with bounded macroscopic density is a uniqueness class.
This work concerns the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system without angular cutoff and Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system including Coulomb interaction in bounded domain, namely union of cubes. We establish the global stability, exponential large-time decay with specular-reflection boundary condition when an initial datum is near Maxwellian equilibrium. We provide the compatible specular boundary condition for high-order derivatives and a velocity weighted energy estimate.
In this paper, we present sharp decay estimates for small data solutions of the following two systems: the Vlasov-Poisson (V-P) system in dimension 3 or higher and the Vlasov-Yukawa (V-Y) system in dimension 2 or higher. We rely on a modification of the vector field method for transport equation as developed by Smulevici in 2016 for the Vlasov-Poisson system. Using the Green's function in particular to estimate bilinear terms, we improve Smulevici's result by requiring only $L^1_{x,v}$ bounds for the initial data and its derivatives. We also extend the result to the Vlasov-Yukawa system.
We prove small data modified scattering for the Vlasov-Poisson system in dimension $d=3$ using a method inspired from dispersive analysis. In particular, we identify a simple asymptotic dynamic related to the scattering mass.
We discuss some recent development on the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system in bounded domains with diffuse reflection boundary condition. In addition we present a new regularity result when the particles are surrounded by conductor boundary.
In this paper, we construct unique, local-in-time strong solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson (VP) and Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck (VPFP) systems subjected to external, spatially regular, white-in-time electromagnetic fields in $\mathbb T^d \times \mathbb R^d$. Initial conditions are taken $H^σ$ with $σ> d/2 + 1$ (in addition to polynomial velocity weights). We additionally show that solutions to the VPFP are instantly $C^\infty_{x,v}$ due to hypoelliptic regularization if the external force fields are smooth. The external forcing arises in the kinetic equation as a stochastic transport in velocit…
We study the linearized Vlasov-Poisson system around suitably stable homogeneous equilibria on $\mathbb{R}^d\times \mathbb{R}^d$ (for any $d \geq 1$) and establish dispersive $L^\infty$ decay estimates in the physical space.
In this paper, we prove the nonlinear asymptotic stability of the Penrose-stable equilibria among solutions of the $2d$ Vlasov-Poisson system with massless electrons.
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.
In this paper, we introduce a new set of vector fields for the relativistic transport equation, which is applicable for general Vlasov-Wave type coupled systems. By combining the strength of Klainerman vector field method and Fourier method, we prove global regularity and scattering for the $3D$ massive relativistic Vlasov-Nordström system for small initial data without any compact support assumption, which is widely used in the literature for the study of Vlasov solution.
This paper is devoted to the linearized Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system in presence of an external potential of confinement. We investigate the large time behaviour of the solutions using hypocoercivity methods and a notion of scalar product adapted to the presence of a Poisson coupling. Our framework provides estimates which are uniform in the diffusion limit. As an application in a simple case, we study the one-dimensional case and prove the exponential convergence of the nonlinear Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system without any small mass assumption.
In the present paper, we study the diffusion limit of the classical solution to the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck (VPFP) system with initial data near a global Maxwellian. We prove the convergence and establish the optimal convergence rate of the global strong solution to the VPFP system towards the solution to the drift-diffusion-Poisson system based on the spectral analysis with precise estimation on the initial layer.
In the present paper, we study the diffusion limit of the classical solution to the unipolar Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann (VPB) system with initial data near a global Maxwellian. We prove the convergence and establish the convergence rate of the global strong solution to the unipolar VPB system towards the solution to an incompressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson-Fourier system based on the spectral analysis with precise estimation on the initial layer.
We provide a quantitative asymptotic analysis for the nonlinear Vlasov--Poisson--Fokker--Planck system with a large linear friction force and high force-fields. The limiting system is a diffusive model with nonlocal velocity fields often referred to as aggregation-diffusion equations. We show that a weak solution to the Vlasov--Poisson--Fokker--Planck system strongly converges to a strong solution to the diffusive model. Our proof relies on the modulated macroscopic kinetic energy estimate based on the weak-strong uniqueness principle together with a careful analysis of the Poisson equation.
We consider the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Landau equation for very soft and Coulomb potentials and show that approximate Type I self-similar blow-up solutions do not exist under mild decay assumptions on the profile. We extend our analysis to the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system and to the Boltzmann equation without angular cut-off.
In this paper, we justify the convergence from the two-species Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann (in briefly,VPB) system to the two-fluid incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Poisson (in briefly, NSFP) system with Ohm's law in the context of classical solutions. We prove the uniform estimates with respect to the Knudsen number $\varepsilon$ for the solutions to the two-species VPB system near equilibrium by treating the strong interspecies interactions. Consequently, we prove the convergence to the two-fluid incompressible NSFP as $\varepsilon$ go to 0.
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 the compressible Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck-Navier-Stokes system in a three dimensional bounded domain with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The system describes the evolution of charged particles ensemble dispersed in an isentropic fluid. For the adiabatic coefficient $γ>3/2$, we establish the global existence of weak solutions to this system with arbitrary large initial and boundary data.
We consider the Vlasov-Poisson system with initial data a small, radial, absolutely continuous perturbation of a point charge. We show that the solution is global and disperses to infinity via a modified scattering along trajectories of the linearized flow. This is done by an exact integration of the linearized equation, followed by the analysis of the perturbed Hamiltonian equation in action-angle coordinates.
For the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann equations with random uncertainties from the initial data or collision kernels, we proved the sensitivity analysis and energy estimates uniformly with respect to the Knudsen number in the diffusive scaling using hypocoercivity method. As a consequence, we also justified the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson limit with random inputs. In particular, for the first time, we obtain the precise convergence rate {\em without} employing any results based on Hilbert expansion. We not only generalized the previous deterministic Navier-Stokes-Poisson limits to random i…
We construct (modified) scattering operators for the Vlasov-Poisson system in three dimensions, mapping small asymptotic dynamics as $t\to -\infty$ to asymptotic dynamics as $t\to +\infty$. The main novelty is the construction of modified wave operators, but we also obtain a new simple proof of modified scattering. Our analysis is guided by the Hamiltonian structure of the Vlasov-Poisson system. Via a pseudo-conformal inversion we recast the question of asymptotic behavior in terms of local in time dynamics of a new equation with singular coefficients which is approximately integrated using a …
For the one-species Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann (VPB) system in the scaling under which the moments of the fluctuations formally converge to the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Poisson (NSFP) system, we prove the uniform estimates with respect to the Knudsen number $ε$ for the fluctuations. As a consequence, the existence of the global-in-time classical solutions of VPB with all $ε\in (0,1]$ is established in whole space under small size of initial data, and the convergence to incompressible NSFP as $ε$ go to 0 is rigorously justified.
We study the small data global regularity problem of the $3D$ Vlasov-Poisson system for both the relativistic case and the non-relativistic case. The main goal of this paper is twofold. (i) Based on a Fourier method, which works systematically for both the relativistic case and the non-relativistic case, we give a short proof for the global regularity and the sharp decay estimate for the $3D$ Vlasov-Poisson system. Moreover, we show that the nonlinear solution scatters to a linear solution in both cases. The result of sharp decay estimates for the non-relativistic case is not new, see Hwang-Re…
We study the finite Larmor radius regime for the Vlasov-Poisson system. The magnetic field is assumed to be uniform. We investigate this non linear problem in the two dimensional setting. We derive the limit model by appealing to gyro-average methods cf. \cite{BosAsyAna}, \cite{BosTraEquSin}. We indicate the explicit expression of the effective advection field, entering the Vlasov equation, after substituting the self-consistent electric field, obtained by the resolution of the averaged (with respect to the cyclotronic time scale) Poisson equation. We emphasize the Hamiltonian structure of the…
In this paper we study the regularity of the non-cutoff Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for plasma particles of two species in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^3$ with hard potential. The existence of global-in-time nearby Maxwellian solutions is known for soft potential from [15]. However the smoothing effect of these solutions has been a challenging open problem. We establish the global existence and regularizing effect to the Cauchy problem for hard potential with large time decay. Hence, the solutions are smooth with respect to $(t,x,v)$ for any positive time $t>0$. This gives the regularity to…
We prove propagation of $\frac{1}{s}$-Gevrey regularity $(s\in(0,1))$ for the Vlasov-Poisson system on $\mathbb{T}^d$ using a Fourier space method in analogy to the results proved for the 2D Euler system in \cite{KV} and \cite{LO}. More precisely, we give a quantitative estimate for the growth in time of the $\frac{1}{s}$-Gevrey norm for the solution of the system in terms of the force field and the gradient in the velocity variable of the distribution of matter. As an application, we show global existence of $\frac{1}{s}$-Gevrey solutions ($s\in (0,1)$) for the Vlasov-Poisson system in $\math…
