Variational principles for the guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations
arXiv:1602.05030 · doi:10.1063/1.4953431
Abstract
The Lagrange, Euler, and Euler-Poincaré variational principles for the guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell equations are presented. Each variational principle presents a different approach to deriving guiding-center polarization and magnetization effects into the guiding-center Maxwell equations. The conservation laws of energy, momentum, and angular momentum are also derived by Noether method, where the guiding-center stress tensor is now shown to be explicitly symmetric.
