The author introduces a long wave scaling for the Vlasov-Poisson equation (which describes the evolution of ions in a plasma) and derive, in the cold ions limit (which means that the ions have zero kinetic temperature), the Korteweg-de Vries equation in 1D and the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in higher dimensions, in the presence of an external magnetic field. The proofs are based on the relative entropy method.
