Global error estimates in zero-relaxation limit of Euler–Poisson system for ion dynamics.

The zero-relaxation limit of Euler–Poisson systems for ion dynamics in a slow time scale leads to drift-diffusion equations. This fact was justified in previous works. This paper concerns global error estimates between solutions of Euler–Poisson systems and that of drift-diffusion equations. In the proof, we use Sobolev inequalities and employ a multiplier related to the electric potential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
