Unstable oscillatory-tail waves in collisionles plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a collisionless relativistic neutral plasma is nonlinearly dynamically unstable under certain perturbations of the initial data and that such a state is not stable.

Large-time decay of the soft potential relativisticBoltzmann equation in $\mathbb{R}^3_x$

TL;DR: For the relativistic Boltzmann equation, the authors proves the global existence, uniqueness, positivity, and optimal time convergence rate for solutions which start out sufficiently close under the general physical soft potential assumption.

Geometric Analysis of the Linear Boltzmann Equation I. Trend to Equilibrium

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study how the association of transport and collision phenomena can lead to convergence to equilibrium, using concepts and ideas from control theory, and show that convergence towards an equilibrium is equivalent to an almost everywhere geometric control condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase Transition in a Vlasov-Boltzmann Binary Mixture

TL;DR: In this article, a binary mixture over a line with collisions and long range repulsive interaction between different species is considered, and it undergoes a segregation phase transition at sufficiently low temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetically created instability in a collisionless plasma

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that there are homogeneous equilibria that are monotone decreasing in every direction and are arbitrarily close to a Vlasov-Maxwellian.

Perturbation theory for linear operators

Tosio Kato
TL;DR: The monograph by T Kato as discussed by the authors is an excellent reference work in the theory of linear operators in Banach and Hilbert spaces and is a thoroughly worthwhile reference work both for graduate students in functional analysis as well as for researchers in perturbation, spectral, and scattering theory.

Existence and uniqueness of nonnegative eigenfunctions of the Boltzmann operator

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the initial value problem and showed that the decay constant X is an eigenvalue of the Boltzmann operator A. The exact domain of definition of A is dependent on the space of functions where A acts, and will be described in Section 2.
