Nonexistence of multi-dimensional solitary waves for the Euler-Poisson system

Junsik Bae, Daisuke Kawagoe

Published 2023-08-07Version 1

We study the nonexistence of multi-dimensional solitary waves for the Euler-Poisson system governing ion dynamics. It is well-known that the one-dimensional Euler-Poisson system has solitary waves that travel faster than the ion-sound speed. In contrast, we show that the two-dimensional and three-dimensional models do not admit nontrivial irrotational spatially localized traveling waves for any traveling velocity and for general pressure laws. We derive some Pohozaev type identities associated with the energy and density integrals. This approach is extended to prove the nonexistence of irrotational multi-dimensional solitary waves for the two-species Euler-Poisson system for ions and electrons.
