Asymptotically Stable Particle-In-Cell Methods for the Vlasov--Poisson System with a Strong External Magnetic Field

Asymptotically Stable Particle-In-Cell Methods for the Vlasov--Poisson System with a Strong External Magnetic Field

This paper deals with the numerical resolution of the Vlasov--Poisson system with a strong external magnetic field by particle-in-cell (PIC) methods. In this regime, classical PIC methods are subject to stability constraints on the time and space steps related to the small Larmor radius and plasma frequency. Here we propose …
