The Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system near Maxwellians in the whole space with very soft potentials

Since the work [13] by Guo [Invent. Math. 153 (2003), no. 3, 593--630], how to establish the global existence of perturbative classical solutions around a global Maxwellian to the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system with the whole range of soft potentials has been an open problem. This is mainly due to the complex structure of the system, in particular, the degenerate dissipation at large velocity, the velocity-growth of the nonlinear term induced by the Lorentz force, and the regularity-loss of the electromagnetic fields. This paper aims to resolve this problem in the whole space provided that initial perturbation has sufficient regularity and velocity-integrability.

The Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for the whole range of cutoff soft potentials

The dynamics of dilute electrons can be modeled by the fundamental one-species Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system which describes mutual interactions of the electrons through collisions in the self-consistent electrostatic field. For cutoff intermolecular interactions, although there are some progress on the construction of global smooth solutions to its Cauchy problem near Maxwellians recently, the problem for the case of very soft potentials remains unsolved. By introducing a new time-velocity weighted energy method and based on some new optimal temporal decay estimates on the solution itself and some of its derivatives with respect to both the spatial and the velocity variables, it is shown in this manuscript that the Cauchy problem of the one-species Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for all cutoff soft potentials does exist a unique global smooth solution for general initial perturbation which is unnecessary to satisfy the neutral condition imposed in [13] for the case of cutoff moderately soft potentials but is assumed to be small in certain weighted Sobolev spaces. Our approach applies also to the case of cutoff hard potentials and thus provides a satisfactory global well-posedness theory to the one-species Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system near Maxwellians for the whole range of cutoff intermolecular interactions in the perturbative framework.

Inflow Problem for the One-dimensional Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations under Large Initial Perturbation

This paper is concerned with the inflow problem for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. For such a problem, Matsumura and Nishihara showed in [A. Matsumura and K. Nishihara, Large-time behaviors of solutions to an inflow problem in the half space for a one-dimensional system of compressible viscous gas. Comm. Math. Phys. 222 (2001), 449-474] that there exists boundary layer solution to the inflow problem and both the boundary layer solution, the rarefaction wave, and the superposition of boundary layer solution and rarefaction wave are nonlinear stable under small initial perturbation. The main purpose of this paper is to show that similar stability results for the boundary layer solution and the supersonic rarefaction wave still hold for a class of large initial perturbation which can allow the initial density to have large oscillation. The proofs are given by an elementary energy method and the key point is to deduce the desired lower and upper bounds on the density function.

Incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier Limit from The Boltzmann Equation: Classical Solutions

The global classical solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier equation with small initial data in the whole space is constructed through a zero Knudsen number limit from the solutions to the Boltzmann equation with general collision kernels. The key point is the uniform estimate of the Sobolev norm on the global solutions to the Boltzmann equation.

Negative Sobolev Spaces and the Two-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau System in the Whole Space

A global solvability result of the Cauchy problem of the two-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau system near a given global Maxwellian is established by employing an approach different than that of [5]. Compared with that of [5], the minimal regularity index and the smallness assumptions we imposed on the initial data are weaker. Our analysis does not rely on the decay of the corresponding linearized system and the Duhamel principle and thus it can be used to treat the one-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau system for the case of $γ>-3$ and the one-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system for the case of $-1<γ\leq 1$ to deduce the global existence results together with the corresponding temporal decay estimates.

Existence and stability of stationary solutions to the full compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system

This paper is concerned with the existence, uniqueness and nonlinear stability of stationary solutions to the Cauchy problem of the full compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system effected by external force of general form in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Based on the weighted-$L^2$ method and some elaborate $L^\infty$ estimates of solutions to the linearized problem, the existence and uniqueness of stationary solution are obtained by the contraction mapping principle. The proof of the stability result is given by an elementary energy method and relies on some intrinsic properties of the full compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system.

Time periodic solutions of compressible fluid models of Korteweg type

This paper is concerned with the existence, uniqueness and time-asymptotic stability of time periodic solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system effected by a time periodic external force in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Our analysis is based on a combination of the energy method and the time decay estimates of solutions to the linearized system.

The Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann System for Soft Potentials

An important physical model describing the dynamics of dilute weakly ionized plasmas in the collisional kinetic theory is the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for which the plasma responds strongly to the self-consistent electrostatic force. This paper is concerned with the electron dynamics of kinetic plasmas in the whole space when the positive charged ion flow provides a spatially uniform background. We establish the global existence and optimal convergence rates of solutions near a global Maxwellian to the Cauchy problem on the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for angular cutoff soft potentials with $-2\leq γ<0$. The main idea is to introduce a time dependent weight function in the velocity variable to capture the singularity of the cross-section at zero relative velocity.

Global solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau System

Based on the recent study on the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system with general angular cutoff potentials [3, 4], we establish in this paper the global existence of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem of the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system that includes the Coulomb potential. This then provides a different approach on this topic from the recent work [8].
