In this paper, we investigate the homogenization of the 1D Vlasov–Maxwell system. We indicate the rate of convergence towards the limit solution. In the non-relativistic case, we compute explicitly the limit solution. The theoretical results are illustrated by some numerical simulations.
Keywords: Vlasov–Maxwell equations; homogenization; mild solutions.
