In the Vlasov-Poisson equation, every configuration which is homogeneous in space provides a stationary solution. Penrose gave in 1960 a criterion for such a configuration to be linearly unstable. While this criterion makes sense in a…
We study the expansion of ultracold neutral plasmas in the regime in which inelastic collisions are negligible. The plasma expands due to the thermal pressure of the electrons, and for an initial spherically symmetric Gaussian density…
The stability features of steady states of the spherically symmetric Einstein-Vlasov system are investigated numerically. We find support for the conjecture by Zeldovich and Novikov that the binding energy maximum along a steady state…
The Vlasov-Poisson system with massless electrons (VPME) is widely used in plasma physics to model the evolution of ions in a plasma. It differs from the Vlasov-Poisson system (VP) for electrons in that the Poisson coupling has an…

We consider a special case of the three dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system where the particles are restricted to a plane, a situation that is used in astrophysics to model extremely flattened galaxies. We prove the existence of steady states…
We prove an exponential stability result for the small solutions of the Schr{\"o}dinger-Poisson equation on the circle without exterior parameters in Gevrey class. More precisely we prove that for most of the initial data of Gevrey-norm…
We consider the Nernst-Planck-Stokes system on a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$ with general nonequilibrium Dirichlet boundary conditions for the ionic concentrations. It is well known that, in a wide range of cases, equilibrium…
In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behaviors of the solutions of nonlinear dynamic systems nearby an equilibrium point, when the nominal parts are subject to non necessarily small perturbations. We show that, under some estimates…
A multispecies, collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system. Assuming that the electric field decays with sufficient rapidity as $t \to\infty$, we show that the velocity characteristics and spatial averages of the particle…
We examine the stability of a class of quasilinear parabolic partial differential equations under perturbations. We are interested in the behavior of viscosity solutions as the perturbation parameter vanishes and establish explicit…
We extend Loeper's $L^2$-estimate relating the electric fields to the densities for the Vlasov-Poisson system to $L^p$, with $1 < p < +\infty$, based on the Helmholtz-Weyl decomposition. This allows us to generalize both the classical…
We propose and analyze a class of particle methods for the Vlasov equation with a strong external magnetic field in a torus configuration. In this regime, the time step can be subject to stability constraints related to the smallness of…
The goal of this article is twofold. First, we investigate the linearized Vlasov-Poisson system around a family of spatially homogeneous equilibria in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (the unconfined setting). Our analysis follows classical strategies from…
