Реферат: In the classical statement of the plasma-vacuum interface problem in ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) one neglects the displacement current in the vacuum region that gives the div-curl system of pre-Maxwell dynamics for the vacuum magnetic field. For understanding the influence of the vacuum electric field on the evolution of a plasma-vacuum interface we do not neglect the displacement current and consider the full Maxwell equations in vacuum. For the case of an incompressible plasma flow, by constructing an Hadamard-type ill-posedness example for the constant coefficient linearized problem we find a necessary and sufficient condition for the violent instability of a planar plasma-vacuum interface. In particular, we prove that as soon as the unperturbed plasma and vacuum magnetic fields are collinear, any nonzero unperturbed vacuum electric field makes the planar interface violently unstable. This shows the necessity of the corresponding non-collinearity condition for well-posedness and a crucial role of the vacuum electric field in the evolution of a plasma-vacuum interface. ©2020 International Press.
