Kinetic equation for nonlinear wave-particle interaction: solution properties and asymptotic dynamics

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2217902



Abstract: We consider a kinetic equation describing evolution of a particle distribution function in a system with nonlinear wave-particle interactions (trappings into a resonance and nonlinear scatterings). We study properties of its solutions and show that the only stationary solution is a constant, and that all solutions with smooth initial conditions tend to constant as time grows. The resulting flattening of the distribution function in the domain of nonlinear interactions is similar to one described by the quasi-linear plasma theory, but the distribution evolves much faster. The results are confirmed numerically for a model problem.
