DESCRIPTION:The motion of a collisionless plasma\, a high-temperature\, lo
 w-density\, ionized gas\, is described by the Vlasov-Maxwell equations. In
  the presence of large velocities\, relativistic corrections are meaningfu
 l\, and when magnetic effects are neglected this formally becomes the rela
 tivistic Vlasov-Poisson system. Similarly\, if one takes the classical lim
 it as the speed of light tends to infinity\, one obtains the classical Vl
 asov-Poisson system. We study the long-time dynamics of these systems of P
 DE and contrast the behavior when considering the cases of classical versu
 s relativistic velocities and the monocharged (i.e.\, single species of io
 n) versus neutral plasma situations.
