The rigorous derivation of unipolar Euler-Maxwell system for electrons
from bipolar Euler-Maxwell system by infinity-ion-mass limit
Abstract
In the paper, we consider the local-in-time and the global-in-time
infinity-ion-mass convergence of bipolar Euler-Maxwell systems by
setting the mass of an electron me=1 and letting the
mass of an ion mi→∞. We use the method of asymptotic
expansions to handle the local-in-time convergence problem and find that
the limiting process from bipolar models to unipolar models is actually
decoupling, but not the vanishing of equations for the corresponding the
other particle. Moreover, when the initial data is sufficiently close to
the constant equilibrium state, we establish the global-in-time
infinity-ion-mass convergence.
