Abstract

We are interested in the steady-state Euler–Poisson system for a potential flow used in the mathematical modelling of plasmas and semiconductors. In the case of the quasi-neutral limit, boundary layers can appear. We study this limit by using an asymptotic expansion. We show the existence and uniqueness of each profile and give the justification of the asymptotic expansion up to any order.
