Convergence Analysis of a Discontinuous Galerkin/Strang Splitting Approximation for the Vlasov--Poisson Equations

Convergence Analysis of a Discontinuous Galerkin/Strang Splitting Approximation for the Vlasov--Poisson Equations

A rigorous convergence analysis of the Strang splitting algorithm with a discontinuous Galerkin approximation in space for the Vlasov--Poisson equations is provided. It is shown that under suitable assumptions the error is of order $\mathcal{O}(\tau^2+h^q +h^q/\tau)$, where $\tau$ is the size of a time step, $h$ is the cell size, …
