This paper analyzes the 1D repulsive pressureless Euler-Poisson system with sticky particle solutions, establishing energy properties, existence of perfect states, and finite-time collapse criteria, supported by examples and simulations.

ABSTRACT

The main objective of this paper is a study of the asymptotic behavior of distributional solutions to the one-dimensional repulsive pressureless Euler-Poisson system. The system is a model for the dynamics of a mass distribution evolving on \mathbb{R} whose masses exert outward forces on one another. A discrete (describing the evolution of finitely many particles) solution is called sticky if, upon collision, particles stick together and move as one for all subsequent time, according to the conservation of mass and momentum principles. We prove results on the total energy (Hamiltonian) of the system and demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of so-called "perfect" states, where the Hamiltonian is constant over all time and the solution converges to equilibrium, a single stationary particle. We provide a necessary and a sufficient condition for finite-time collapse, and present a quadratic envelope within which a solution must remain in order to collapse. We demonstrate various (counter)examples that illustrate the unique behavior of the repulsive scheme with the sticky condition, analytically and with a computer simulation.

• Investigate the long-time (asymptotic) behavior of distributional solutions to the 1D repulsive pressureless Euler-Poisson system.

主な発見

• The paper proves existence and uniqueness of perfect states where the Hamiltonian remains constant over time and the solution converges to a single stationary particle.
• It provides a necessary condition for finite-time collapse in the discrete case and a sharper sufficient condition, along with a quadratic envelope that governs collapse behavior.
• Projection-type methods from the attractive case do not carry over to the repulsive case, and explicit counterexamples illustrate the breakdown of such formulas.
• Discrete solutions can approximate non-sticky generalized solutions, showing non-uniqueness in the closure of sticky solutions.
• The analysis includes several counterexamples and computer simulations highlighting the distinctive dynamics under repulsive interactions with stickiness.
• Lemmas on combining particles via centers of mass simplify analysis of collisions and subsequent evolution.
