Optimal gradient estimates and asymptotic behaviour for the Vlasov-Poisson system with small initial data (Q717469)

In this article the authors extend previous results giving the time decay of solutions of the Cauchy problem to the Vlasov-Poisson system with small initial data. They show in particular that the Bardos-Degond result \[ \|\rho\|_{L^\infty}\leq C(1+t)^{-3}, \] for the density \(\rho(t,x)\) of particles in \(\mathbb R^3\), extends to higher-order derivatives \[ \|D^k\rho\|_{L^\infty}\leq C(1+t)^{-3-k}, \] for any \(k\in\mathbb N\).
