Hamiltonian reductions for modeling relativistic laser-plasma interactions. (English) Zbl 1254.82039

Commun. Nonlinear Sci. Numer. Simul. 17, No. 5, 2153-2160 (2012).
Authors’ abstract: We show two applications of Hamiltonian reductions related to relativistic laser-plasma interactions starting from the Vlasov-Maxwell equation. The use of the Hamiltonian formalism ensures a consistent asymptotic ordering and results in reduced models that maximally preserve the structure of Vlasov-Maxwell system.
