Abstract:

In this article, we are concerned with the nonlinear stability of the rarefaction wave for a one-dimensional macroscopic model derived from the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system. The result shows that the large-time behavior of the solutions coincides with the one for both the Navier-Stokes-Poisson system and the Navier-Stokes system. Both the timedecay property of the rarefaction wave profile and the influence of the electromagnetic field play a key role in the analysis.

Key words: Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system, rarefaction wave, energy method
