In the aim to understand the formation and stability of mirror structures reported by satellite observations and Vlasov-Maxwell numerical simulations, systematic approaches based on quasi-linear theory and reductive perturbative expansion are reviewed, and combined in a dynamical model that reproduces the formation of magnetic humps above the instability threshold and also displays subcritical solutions in the form of magnetic holes.
