We establish global well-posedness and show that the initial bump region will disappear in a time of order one. We prove that the function remains close to an explicit function during the blow-down. As a consequence, our result shows exponential decay in time of the solution towards equilibrium. The key ingredients of our proof are the explicit blow-down function and a novel two-scale linearization in appropriate time-dependent spaces that yields uniform estimates in the perturbation parameter.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-11T16:59:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B25" ], "keywords": [ "landau-coulomb equation", "yields uniform estimates", "explicit blow-down mechanism", "function remains close", "explicit blow-down function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
