Abstract

The aim of this work is to establish, from amathematical point of view, the limit α → +∞ in the system $i \partial_t E+\nabla (\nabla . E)-\alpha^2 \nabla \times\nabla \times E =-|E|^{2\sigma}E,$ where $E:{\ensuremath{{\Bbb R}}}^3\rightarrow{\mathbb C}^3$ . This corresponds to an approximationwhich is made in the context of Langmuir turbulence in plasmaPhysics. The L 2-subcritical σ (that is σ ≤ 2/3)and the H 1-subcritical σ (that is σ ≤ 2) arestudied. In the physical case σ = 1, the limit is then studied for the $H^1({\ensuremath{{\Bbb R}}}^3)$ norm.
