We investigate nonlinear Landau damping for the two-species screened Vlasov-Poisson system with large initial distributions on the phase space $\mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}^d$ (where $d \geq 3$). Under a structural quasi-neutrality…
The evolution of an initial perturbation in Vlasov plasma is studied in the intrinsically nonlinear long-time limit dominated by the effects of particle trapping. After the possible transient linear exponential Landau damping, the evolution…
We study the dynamics of perturbations around an inhomogeneous stationary state of the Vlasov-HMF (Hamiltonian Mean-Field) model, satisfying a linearized stability criterion (Penrose criterion). We consider solutions of the linearized…
In this paper, we study the optimal stability threshold for the Vlasov-Poisson equation with weak Fokker-Planck collision. We prove that if the initial perturbation is of size $\nu^{\frac{1}{2}}$ in the critical weighted space…
We examine the phenomenon of Landau Damping in relativistic plasmas via a study of the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system (rVP) on the torus for initial data sufficiently close to a spatially uniform steady state. We find that if the steady…
In the Kuramoto model of globally coupled oscillators, partially locked states (PLS) are stationary solutions that incorporate the emergence of partial synchrony when the interaction strength increases. While PLS have long been considered,…
We revisit the proof of Landau damping near stable homogenous equilibria of Vlasov-Poisson systems with screened interactions in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^d$ (for $d\geq3$) that was first established by Bedrossian, Masmoudi and Mouhot.…
The classic problem of the dynamic evolution of Langmuir electron waves in a collisionless plasma and their Landau damping is cast as a second-order, self-adjoint problem with a continuum spectrum of real and positive squared frequencies.…
We consider a family of isolated inhomogeneous steady states to the gravitational Vlasov-Poisson system with a point mass at the centre. They are parametrised by the polytropic index $k>1/2$, so that the phase space density of the steady…
The velocity-space resolution required to accurately simulate kinetic phenomena in the 1D-1V Vlasov--Poisson system is generally not known a priori. In this work, we determine the upper bound on the resolution requirement for linear and…
Landau damping is the mechanism of plasma and beam stabilization; it arises through energy transfer from collective modes to the incoherent motion of resonant particles. Normally this resonance requires the resonant particle's frequency to…
The linear and nonlinear theories of electron-acoustic waves (EAWs) are studied in a partially degenerate quantum plasma with two-temperature electrons and stationary ions. The initial equilibrium of electrons is assumed to be given by the…
This paper addresses the linear propagation of an electron wave in a collisionless, inhomogeneous, nonstationary and anisotropic plasma. The plasma is characterized by its distribution function, $f_H$, at zero order in the wave amplitude.…
We consider the Kuramoto model of globally coupled phase oscillators in its continuum limit, with individual frequencies drawn from a distribution with density of class $C^n$ ($n\geq 4$). A criterion for linear stability of the uniform…
Landau damping is a natural stabilization mechanism that mitigates coherent beam instabilities. In the longitudinal plane, loss of Landau damping (LLD) occurs when a coherent mode of oscillation emerges from the incoherent band of the bunch…
Fully kinetic simulations of the Vlasov equation require a careful numerical treatment of phase space advections to ensure accuracy and stability in six dimensions. To test the accuracy of full Vlasov codes, we have developed a surprisingly…
We establish the possibility of Landau damping for gravitational scalar waves which propagate in a non-collisional gas of particles. In particular, under the hypothesis of homogeneity and isotropy, we describe the medium at the equilibrium…
Our last three papers provide an occasion to make some brief notes on ideology of waves in plasmas and to rehabilitate Vlasov prescription to calculate relevant logarithmically divergent integrals in the principal value sense. In this…
We analyse the effect of expansion in Newtonian cosmology on the asymptotic behaviour of charged self-interacting plasmas close to Poisson equilibria. To this end, we study the Vlasov-Poisson system on the phase space of a $3$-torus which…
The theory of plasma waves and Landau damping in Maxwellian plasmas, Landau's ``rule of pass around poles'' include doubtful statements, particularly related to an artificial ``constructing'' of the dispersion equation, what should allow…
