Global Weak Solutions to the Relativistic Vlasov - Maxwell System Revisited 1

چکیده
Abstract. In their seminal work [3], R. DiPerna and P.-L. Lions established the existence of global weak solutions to the Vlasov-Maxwell system. In the present notes we give a somewhat simplified proof of this result for the relativistic version of this system, the main purpose being to make this important result of kinetic theory more easily accessible to newcomers in the field. We show that the weak solutions preserve the total charge.

متن کاملGlobal Solutions for the One-dimensional Vlasov-maxwell System for Laser-plasma Interaction
We analyse a reduced 1D Vlasov–Maxwell system introduced recently in the physical literature for studying laser-plasma interaction. This system can be seen as a standard Vlasov equation in which the field is split in two terms: an electrostatic field obtained from Poisson’s equation and a vector potential term satisfying a nonlinear wave equation. Both nonlinearities in the Poisson and wave equ...
متن کاملGlobal Classical Solutions for the “one and One-half” Dimensional Relativistic Vlasov-maxwell-fokker-planck System
In a recent paper Calogero and Alcántara [Kinet. Relat. Models, 4 (2011), pp. 401-426] derived a Lorentz-invariant Fokker-Planck equation, which corresponds to the evolution of a particle distribution associated with relativistic Brownian Motion. We study the “one and one-half” dimensional version of this problem with nonlinear electromagnetic interactions the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Fokker...
متن کاملMomentum Regularity and Stability of the Relativistic Vlasov-maxwell-boltzmann System
Abstract. In the study of solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation, their regularity with respect to the momentum variables has been an outstanding question, even local in time, due to the initially unexpected growth in the post-collisional momentum variables which was discovered in 1991 by Glassey & Strauss [13]. We establish momentum regularity within energy spaces via a new splitting...
متن کاملGlobal Weak Solutions of the Relativistic Vlasov-klein-gordon System
We consider an ensemble of classical particles coupled to a KleinGordon field. For the resulting nonlinear system of partial differential equations, which we call the relativistic Vlasov-Klein-Gordon system, we prove the existence of global weak solutions for initial data satisfying a size restriction. The latter becomes necessary since the energy of the system is indefinite, and only for restr...
