Abstract
A novel integral formulation of the plasma diode dynamics on the slow ion time scale is derived under the assumptions of a negligible ion pressure and a slow electron response described by an equation of state. Equilibrium solutions are constructed for several particle injection conditions at the cathode and for arbitrary anode potentials. In addition, structural stability arguments are presented and applied to the class of equilibria related to equal particle injection conditions.
