Abstract:
This article studies an initial-boundary value problem for the plasma-charge model
in a half-space. We establish the existence of classical local solutions when the
point charges are in motion, and the existence of classical global solutions when the
point charges remain fixed away from the boundary. In contrast to previous studies of
the plasma-charge model in convex domains, our approach does not require the separation
of singular sets, owing to the flat boundary.
Moreover, we derive classical growth estimates for the support of the plasma distribution
and obtain corresponding dispersion estimates.
