The Vlasov-Poisson system with radiation damping
نویسندگان
چکیده
We set up and analyze a model of radiation damping within the framework of continuum mechanics, inspired by a model of post-Newtonian hydrodynamics due to Blanchet, Damour and Schäfer. In order to simplify the problem as much as possible we replace the gravitational field by the electromagnetic field and the fluid by kinetic theory. We prove that the resulting system has a well-posed Cauchy problem globally in time for general initial data and that in all solutions the fields decay to zero at late times. In particular, this means that the model is free from the runaway solutions which frequently occur in descriptions of radiation reaction.

Caldeira-Leggett Model, Landau Damping, and the Vlasov-Poisson System
The Caldeira-Leggett Hamiltonian (Eq. (1) below) describes the interaction of a discrete harmonic oscillator with a continuous bath of harmonic oscillators. This system is a standard model of dissipation in macroscopic low temperature physics, and has applications to superconductors, quantum computing, and macroscopic quantum tunneling. The similarities between the Caldeira-Leggett model and th...
متن کاملOn the Existence of Exponentially Decreasing Solutions of the Nonlinear Landau Damping Problem
In this paper we prove the existence of a large class of periodic solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson in one space dimension that decay exponentially as t → ∞. The exponential decay is well known for the linearized version of the Landau damping problem. The results in this paper provide the first example of solutions of the whole nonlinear Vlasov-Poisson system that exhibit such rate of decay.
متن کاملSymmetrization of Vlasov-Poisson Equations
We detail the spectrum of the linearized Vlasov-Poisson equation, and construct an original integro-differential operator which is related to the eigenstructure. It gives a new representation formula for the electric field, and yields new estimates for the linear Landau damping. Then we apply the technique to a problem with a dependence to the Debye length, and show weaker damping for small Deb...
متن کاملHyperbolic Approximation of the Fourier Transformed Vlasov Equation
We construct an hyperbolic approximation of the Vlasov equation in which the dependency on the velocity variable is removed. The model is constructed from the Vlasov equation after a Fourier transformation in the velocity variable [9]. A well-chosen nite element semi-discretization in the spectral variable leads to an hyperbolic system.The resulting model enjoys interesting conservation and sta...
متن کاملSolving Vlasov Equations Using NRxx Method
In this paper, we propose a moment method to numerically solve the Vlasov equations using the framework of the NRxxmethod developed in [6, 8, 7] for the Boltzmann equation. Due to the same convection term of the Boltzmann equation and the Vlasov equation, it is very convenient to use the moment expansion in the NRxx method to approximate the distribution function in the Vlasov equations. The mo...
