ON THE LAGRANGIAN STRUCTURE OF VLASOV-MAXWELL EQUATIONS FOR
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD WITH BOUNDED VARIATION
Abstract
We study the Lagrangian structure of Vlasov-Maxwell equations. We show
that for sufficiently regular initial conditions, renormalized solutions
of these systems are Lagrangian and that these notions of solution, in
fact, coincide. As a consequence, finite-energy solutions are shown to
be transported by a global flow. These results extend to our setting
those obtained by Ambrosio, Colombo, and Figalli [3] for the
Vlasov-Poisson system and by the first author and Marcon for
relativistic Vlasov systems [5]; here, we analyze the
electromagnetic fields with bounded variation under Maxwell equations.
