Abstract

We investigate the time-asymptotic stability of planar rarefaction wave for the 3D bipolar Vlasov–Poisson Boltzmann (VPB) system, based on the micro–macro decompositions introduced in [T. P. Liu and S. H. Yu, Boltzmann equation: Micro–macro decompositions and positivity of shock profiles, Comm. Math. Phys. 246 (2004) 133–179; Energy method for the Boltzmann equation, Physica D 188 (2004) 178–192] and our new observations on the underlying wave structures of the equation to overcome the difficulties due to the wave propagation along the transverse directions and its interactions with the planar rarefaction wave. Note that this is the first stability result of basic wave patterns for bipolar VPB system in three dimensions.
