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 […]
