Transport Constraints (Section 4) #
Derives that steady states are local Maxwellians: from the transport equation and D(f) = 0 at each spatial point, applies Corollary 1 to conclude f(x, .) is Maxwellian for each x.
Corollary 2 (Steady state is a local Maxwellian). Reference: cor:local_maxwellian
At any steady state of the VML system with ν > 0, f(x,·) is a Maxwellian for each x ∈ T³.
Proof: By Lemma 11, Dₓ(f) = 0 for all x. By Corollary 1, f(x,·) is Maxwellian.
Force transport vanishes: ∫_v (E + v×B) · ∇_v f · log f dv = 0. Uses: div_v(E + v×B) = 0 + velocity-space IBP (velocity_ibp).
Transport entropy vanishes at steady state on T³. Proof: Multiply Vlasov by log f, integrate over v and X. Spatial transport vanishes by hIBP_spatial (spatial_transport_log_zero), force transport vanishes by velocity-space IBP (force_transport_zero).
