Abstract

We investigate the global well-posedness of the ionic Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system which models the evolution of dilute collisional ions. This system distinguishes the electronic Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system via an additional exponential nonlinearity in the coupled Poisson-Poincar\'{e} equation, which introduces essential mathematical difficulties. In a three-dimensional periodic box, We establish the existence of a unique global-in-time classical solution with an exponential decay under small initial perturbations of a global Maxwellian that preserve mass, momentum and energy conservation laws. Our approach combines a nonlinear energy method with quantitative nonlinear elliptic estimates and new coercivity inequalities for the linearized collision operator L\mathcal{L} in ion dynamics.
