Rigorous results on a time-dependent inhomogeneous coulomb gas problem
We report results obtained by rigorous analysis of a nonlinear differential equation for the electron density n e in a specific type of electrical discharge. The problem is essentially two-dimensional. We discuss in particular (i) the escape of electrons to infinity above a critical temperature; and...

Summary: | We report results obtained by rigorous analysis of a nonlinear differential equation for the electron density
n
e in a specific type of electrical discharge. The problem is essentially two-dimensional. We discuss in particular (i) the escape of electrons to infinity above a critical temperature; and (ii) the boundary layer exhibited by
n
e near zero temperature. |
