Abstract
In this paper, we consider the initial value problem for the bipolar Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann (bVPB) system and its related modified Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann (mVPB) system. We give the spectrum analysis on the linearized bVPB and mVPB systems around an equilibrium state, and show the optimal convergence rate of solutions to the equilibrium. By this, we show that the electric field decays exponentially, that the distribution function tends to the absolute Maxwellian at the optimal convergence rate (1 + t)(-3/4) for the bVPB system, and that both the electric field and the distribution function converge to the equilibrium state at the optimal rate (1+t)(-3/4) for the mVPB system.
