Adaptive spectral solution method for the Landau and Lenard-Balescu equations
Christian R. Scullard, Abigail Hickok, Justyna O. Sotiris +3
We present an adaptive spectral method for solving the Landau/Fokker-Planck equation for electron-ion systems. The heart of the algorithm is an expansion in Laguerre polynomials, w…
