NLS approximation of the Euler-Poisson system for a cold ion-acoustic plasma. (English) Zbl 1532.35428

Summary: In the previous paper [Commun. Math. Phys. 371, No. 2, 357–398 (2019; Zbl 1428.35526)], we proved the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) approximation for the Euler-Poisson system for a hot ion-acoustic plasma, where the appearance of resonances and the loss of derivatives of quadratic terms are the main difficulties. Note that when the ion-acoustic plasma is hot, the Euler-Poisson system is Friedrich symmetrizable, and the linear term can provide a derivative to compensate the loss of derivative induced by quadratic terms after diagonalizing the linearized system. When the ion-acoustic plasma is cold, as considered in the present paper, the situation is very different from that in the previous paper. The Euler-Poisson system becomes a pressureless system, so the linear operator has no regularity, and the quadratic terms still lose a derivative in the diagonalized system. This fact makes it more difficult to prove the NLS approximation of Euler-Poisson system for a cold ion-acoustic plasma. In this paper, we take advantage of the special structure of the pressureless Euler-Poisson system and the normal-form transformation to deal with the difficulties caused by resonances, especially the difficulties caused by derivative loss, in order to prove the NLS approximation.
