Anti-symmetric and Positivity Preserving Formulation of a Spectral Method for Vlasov-Poisson Equations

Opal Issan, Oleksandr Koshkarov, Federico D. Halpern +2

We analyze the anti-symmetric properties of a spectral discretization for the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equations. The discretization is based on a spectral expansion in veloc…
