The time evolution of a collisionless plasma is studied in the case when the Viasov density ƒ is a function of the time, one space variable and two velocity variables. The electromagnetic fields E, B also have a special structure, and the magnetic field B is non‐trivial. It is shown that smooth, consistent initial values generate a uniquc smooth global solution.
