The Vlasov-Poisson system with infinite mass and energy
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system with an infinite mass. The solution to the Poisson equation cannot be defined directly because the macroscopic density is constant at infinity. To solve this problem, we decompose the solution to the kinetic equation into a homogeneous function and a perturbation. We are then able to prove an existence result in short time for weak solutions to the equation for the perturbation, even though there are no a priori estimates by lack of positivity.

The energy of perturbations for Vlasov plasmas*3a)
The energy content of electrostatic perturbations about homogeneous equilibria is discussed. The calculation leading to the well-known dielectric (or as it is sometimes called, the wave) energy is revisited and interpreted in light of Vlasov theory. It is argued that this quantity is deficient because resonant particles are not correctly handled. A linear integral transform is presented that so...

The Vlasov-Poisson equation, which is an infinite dimensional noncanonical Hamiltonian system, is linecui:led about a stable homogeneous equilibrium. Canonical variables for the resulting linear system are obtained. A coordinate transformation is introduced that brings the system, wltich possesses a continuous spectrum, into the.action-angle form where the linearized energy is diagonal. P ACS n...

We construct steady states of the Euler-Poisson system with a barotropic equation of state as minimizers of a suitably defined energy functional. Their minimizing property implies the non-linear stability of such states against general, i.e., not necessarily spherically symmetric perturbations. The mathematical approach is based on previous stability results for the Vlasov-Poisson system by Y. ...

The Nordström-Vlasov system is a relativistic Lorentz invariant generalization of the Vlasov-Poisson system in the gravitational case. The asymptotic behavior of solutions and the non-linear stability of steady states are investigated. It is shown that solutions of the Nordström-Vlasov system with energy grater or equal to the mass satisfy a dispersion estimate in terms of the conformal energy....
متن کاملAsymptotic behaviour for the Vlasov-Poisson System in the stellar dynamics case
We study an optimal inequality which relates potential and kinetic energies in an appropriate framework for bounded solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson (VP) system. Optimal distribution functions, which are completely characterized, minimize the total energy. From this variational approach, we deduce bounds for the kinetic and potential energies in terms of conserved quantities (mass and total ener...
