Quantum Euler-Poisson System: Local Existence of Solutions

Abstract

The one-dimensional transient quantum Euler-Poisson system for semiconductors is studied in a bounded interval. The quantum correction can be interpreted as a dispersive regularization of the classical hydrodynamic equations and mechanical effects. The existence and uniqueness of local-in-time solutions are proved with lower regularity and without the restriction on the smallness of velocity, where the pressure-density is general (can be non-convex or non-monotone).
