Comment on "Impact of particle number and cell-size in fully implicit charge- and energy-conserving particle-in-cell schemes" by N. Savard et al., Phys. Plasmas 32, 073903 (2025)
Luis Chacon, Guangye Chen, Lee Ricketson
We take issue with the conclusions in the recent publication by Savard et al. In the study, the authors implement a fully nonlinear charge- and energy-conserving implicit particle-…

Exact local conservation of energy in fully implicit PIC algorithms
Luis Chacon, Guangye Chen
We consider the issue of strict, fully discrete \emph{local} energy conservation for a whole class of fully implicit local-charge- and global-energy-conserving particle-in-cell (PI…
