Boundary layers of the Boltzmann equation in a three-dimensional half-space
Shota Sakamoto, Masahiro Suzuki, Katherine Zhiyuan Zhang
We consider the nonlinear boundary layers of the Boltzmann equation in a three-dimensional half-space by perturbing around a Maxwellian, under the assumption that the Mach number o…

Steady States of Gas Ionization with Secondary Emission
Walter A. Strauss, Masahiro Suzuki
We consider the steady states of a gas between two parallel plates that is ionized by a strong electric field so as to create a plasma. There can be a cascade of electrons due both…

Stability and existence of stationary solutions to the Euler-Poisson equations in a domain with a curved boundary
Masahiro Suzuki, Masahiro Takayama
The purpose of this paper is to mathematically investigate the formation of a plasma sheath near the surface of walls immersed in a plasma, and to analyze qualitative information o…
