We study a Newtonian model which allows us to describe some extremely flat objects in galactic dynamics. This model is described by a partial differential equation system called Vlasov-Poisson, whose solutions describe the temporal…

We develop a general theory for linear stability of traveling waves of second order in time PDE's. More precisely, we introduce an explicitly computable index $\om^*\in (0, \infty]$ (depending on the self-adjoint part of the linearized…

A new model, inspired by the structure of galactic disks, for three-dimensional Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) modes in a plasma with a uniform finite background magnetic field is presented. These modes are exact nonlinear solutions of the…

A collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system in one dimension. We consider the situation in which mobile negative ions balance a fixed background of positive charge, which is independent of space and time, as x tends to…

The aim of this article is to prove that the linear stability or instability of small Bernstein-Green-Kruskal (BGK) waves is determined by the sign of the derivative of their energy distributions at $0$ energy.

Eulerian simulations of the Vlasov-Poisson equations have been employed to analyze the excitation of slow electrostatic fluctuations (with phase speed close to the electron thermal speed), due to a beam-plasma interaction, and their…

We derive analytic dispersion relations for cold, orbitally constrained systems governed by the Vlasov equation. For magnetized plasmas, we obtain the first explicit relation for two-dimensional anisotropic BGK modes with finite magnetic…

This paper extends the second-order accurate BGK finite volume schemes for the ultra-relativistic flow simulations [5] to the 1D and 2D special relativistic hydrodynamics with the Synge equation of state. It is shown that such 2D schemes…

Plasma sheaths are inhomogeneous stationary states that form when a plasma is in contact with an absorbing wall. We prove linear and non linear stability of a kinetic sheath stationary state for a Vlasov-Poisson type system in a bounded…

The problem posed by the possible existence/non-existence of spatially non-symmetric kinetic equilibria has remained unsolved in plasma theory. For collisionless magnetized plasmas this involves the construction of stationary solutions of…

Relaxation processes in collisionless dynamics lead to peculiar behavior in systems with long-range interactions such as self-gravitating systems, non-neutral plasmas and wave-particle systems. These systems, adequately described by the…

The time evolution of a two-component collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system. In this work, the setting is two and one-half dimensional, that is, the distribution functions of the particles species are independent of…

We study the stability of the standing wave solutions of a Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing Bose-Einstein condensation of dipolar quantum gases and characterize their orbit. As an intermediate step, we consider the corresponding…

A model consisting of a mixed Kuramoto - Sivashinsky - KdV equation, linearly coupled to an extra linear dissipative equation, is proposed. The model applies to the description of surface waves on multilayered liquid films. The extra…

The relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system describes the evolution of a collisionless plasma. The problem of linear instability of this system is considered in two physical settings: the so-called "one and one-half" dimensional case, and the…

We review stability and instability results for self-gravitating matter distributions, where the matter model is a collisionless gas as described by the Vlasov equation. The focus is on the general relativistic situation, i.e., on steady…

We study bidirectional one-dimensional (1-D) shallow-water waves within a class of Boussinesq equations, including the integrable Kaup-Boussinesq (KB) equation and a truncated-dispersion variant, which serves as a representative…

Wave properties and instabilities in a magnetized, anisotropic, collisionless, rarefied hot plasma in fluid approximation are studied, using the 16-moments set of the transport equations obtained from the Vlasov equations. These equations…

The Klein-Gordon-Boussinesq (KGB) system is proposed in the literature as a model problem to study the validity of approximations in the long wave limit provided by simpler equations such as KdV, nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger or Whitham…

Collisions between bright solitary waves in the 1D Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a harmonic potential, which models a trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, are investigated theoretically. A particle analogy for the solitary waves is…
