Loitering at the hilltop on exterior domains

Description: In this article, the author proves the existence of an infinite number of radial solutions of Δu+f(u)=0 on the exterior of the ball of radius R>0 centered at the origin and f is odd with f<0 on (0,β), f>0 on (β,δ), and f≡0 for u>δ. The primitive F(u)=∫u0f(t)dt has a "hilltop" at u=δ which allows one to use the shooting method and ODE techniques to prove the existence of solutions.

Space-charge-based electrostatic plasma confinement involving relaxed plasma species

Description: In this article, a numerical study is reported on the equilibrium properties of a surface-emitted or edge-confined non-drifting plasma. A self-consistent finite-differences evaluation of the electrostatic potential is carried out for a non-neutral plasma that follows a Boltzmann density distribution.
