Cesare Tronci has been travelling through Europe giving talks over the past month. The week of 3-7 April he attended and gave a talk at KineMa 2017: Numerical Modeling of Kinetic Magnetized Plasmas, which was held in Cargese, France. He spoke on “Modeling efforts in hybrid kinetic-MHD systems“. On the 25th April he gave an […]

The paper “Existence of global weak solutions to a hybrid Vlasov-MHD model for magnetized plasmas” co-authored by Bin Cheng, Endre Süli (Oxford) and Cesare Tronci, has been accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society. The paper proves global-in-time existence of large-data finite-energy weak solutions to an incompressible hybrid Vlasov-magnetohydrodynamic model in […]
