Stability of the Superposition of a Viscous Contact Wave with Two Rarefaction Waves to the Bipolar Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann System

We investigate the nonlinear stability of the superposition of a viscous contact wave and two rarefaction waves for one-dimensional bipolar Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann (VPB) system, which can be used to describe the transportation of charged particles under the additional electrostatic potential force. Based on a new micro-macro type decomposition around the local Maxwellian related to the bipolar VPB system in our previous work [26], we prove that the superposition of a viscous contact wave and two rarefaction waves is time-asymptotically stable to 1D bipolar VPB system under some smallness conditions on the initial perturbations and wave strength, which implies that this typical composite wave pattern is nonlinearly stable under the combined effects of the binary collisions, the electrostatic potential force, and the mutual interactions of different charged particles. Note that this is the first result about the nonlinear stability of the combination of two different wave patterns for the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system.
