THE GLOBAL COMBINED QUASI-NEUTRAL AND ZERO-ELECTRON-MASS LIMIT OF NON-ISENTROPIC EULER-POISSON SYSTEMS

We consider a non-isentropic Euler-Poisson system with two small parameters arising in the modeling of unmagnetized plasmas and semiconductors.On the basis of the energy estimates and the compactness theorem,the uniform global existence of the solutions and the combined quasi-neutral and zero-electron-mass limit of the system are proved when the initial data are close to the constant equilibrium state.In particular,the limit is rigorously justified as the two parameters tend to zero independently.
