Quasilinear Approximation of the Vlasov Equation
The object of this talk is to report on a joint ongoing program with Nicolas Besse Prof. Observatoire de la Cote d’Azur et Université de Nice.
The quasi linear approximation for solutions of the Vlasov equation is a very popular tool in Plasma Physic cf. [1] which proposes, for the quantity :
q ( ∫f (x, v, t)dx) , (1)
the solution of a parabolic, linear or non linear evolution equation
∂_t q(t, v) − ∇_v (D(q, t ; v)∇_v q) = 0 . (2)
Since the Vlasov equation is a hamiltonian reversible dynamic while (2) is not reversible whenever D(q, t, v) ≠ 0 the problem is subtle. Hence I will do the following things :
1. Give some sufficient conditions, in particular in relation with Landau damping that will imply that D(q, t, v) ≃ 0 .
2. Building on contributions of [3] and coworkers show the validity of the approximation (2) for large time and for a family of convenient randomized solutions.
3. In the spirit of a Chapman Enskog approximation formalize the very classical physicist approach for a short time approximation under analyticity assumptions.
