The aim of the paper is to test on a simple model how impenetrable may be a magnetic shield. We study the time evolution of a single species positive plasma, confined in the half-space $x_1>0$. The confinement is the result of a balance…

In (Arch. Rational. Mech. Anal 1986, 92:59-90), Glassey and Strauss showed that if the growth in the momentum of the particles is controlled, then the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system has a classical solution globally in time. Later they…
The kinetic description of relativistic plasmas in the presence of time-varying and spatially non-uniform electromagnetic fields is a fundamental theoretical issue both in astrophysics and plasma physics. This refers, in particular, to the…
The distributional form of the Maxwell-Vlasov equations are formulated. Submanifold distributions are analysed and the general submanifold distributional solutions to the Vlasov equations are given. The properties required so that these…
This paper concerns a time-independent thermoelectric model with two different boundary conditions. The model is a nonlinear coupled system of the Maxwell equations and an elliptic equation. By analyzing carefully the nonlinear structure of…
The mathematical description of laboratory fusion plasmas produced in Tokamaks is still challenging. Complete models for electrons and ions, as Vlasov-Maxwell systems, are computationally too expensive because they take into account all…

A multispecies, collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system. Assuming the plasma is neutral and the electric field decays with sufficient rapidity as $t \to\infty$, we show that solutions can be constructed with arbitrarily…
