The plasma-wall dynamic: wellposedness

Analysis of PDEs 2026-07-13 v1

Abstract

We prove existence and uniqueness in BV for a Vlasov-Poisson boundary value problem which takes into account a nonlinear boundary condition at the boundary on the electric potential. It models the dynamical interaction between a plasma and an electrically isolated metallic wall. The nonlinear boundary condition is the so-called floating potential equation of plasma physics.
