A class of global solutions to the Euler-Poisson system

Abstract

Using recent developments in the theory of globally defined expanding compressible gases, we construct a class of global-in-time solutions to the compressible 3-D Euler-Poisson system without any symmetry assumptions in both the gravitational and the plasma case. Our allowed range of adiabatic indices includes, but is not limited to all $γ$ of the form $γ=1+\frac1n$, $n\in\mathbb N\setminus\{1\}$. The constructed solutions have initially small densities and a compact support. As $t\to\infty$ the density scatters to zero and the support grows at a linear rate in $t$.
