Abstract
The motion of an ideal collisionless plasma subject to periodic boundary conditions, with velocity distribution given initially, is studied. The minimum value which the kinetic energy can subsequently attain is determined, on the assumption that the system is subject only to the constraint that phase-space volume is conserved.Keywords
