Initial-boundary value problem of plasma-charge model in the half space

Jingpeng Wu, Min Zhu

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.
