A generalized Fourier–Hermite method for the Vlasov–Poisson system

A generalized Fourier–Hermite method for the Vlasov–Poisson system

Abstract A generalized Fourier–Hermite semi-discretization for the Vlasov–Poisson equation is introduced. The formulation of the method includes as special cases the symmetrically-weighted and asymmetrically-weighted Fourier–Hermite methods from the literature. The numerical scheme is formulated as a weighted Galerkin method with two separate scaling parameters for the Hermite polynomial and the …
