Controlling a Vlasov–Poisson Plasma by a Particle-in-Cell Method Based on a Monte Carlo Framework
The Vlasov-Poisson system describes the time evolution of a plasma in the so-called collisionless regime.The investigation of a high-temperature plasma that is influenced by an exterior magnetic field is one of the most significant aspects of thermonuclear fusion research.In this paper, we formulate and analyze a kinetic optimal control problem …
