Discrete hypocoercive estimates for discontinuous Galerkin methods: application to the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system

Yi Cai, Alain Blaustein, Tao Xiong +1

We develop and analyze a class of structure-preserving discontinuous Galerkin schemes for the nonlinear Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck model, reformulated as a hyperbolic system thro…
