Polynomial propagation of moments and global existence for a Vlasov-Poisson system with a point charge (Q2347867)

The aim of this article is to propose new estimate for moments of the three-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system. The new estimates improve the existing theory in the following directions. First, the authors can now consider initial data which are the sum of a Dirac mass and a continuous density which does not vanish in the vicinity of the Dirac mass. Second, the authors can now bound the higher-order momentums of the distribution by polynomials with respect to time in an explicit computable way in the case when the initial datum is not compactly supported. The new work improves the existing theory by \textit{P. L. Lions} and \textit{B. Perthame} [Invent. Math. 105, No. 2, 415--430 (1991; Zbl 0741.35061)].
