Description
Numerical schemes that preserve the structure of the underlying kinetic
equations can provide new insights into the long time behavior of plasmas. Implicit schemes offer the possibility to simulate large scale systems where the characteristic plasma parameters, skin depth and plasma frequency, are underresolved. A very efficient semi-implicit energy-conserving scheme can be derived for the non-relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system. The situation is more complex for the relativistic case. In this talk, we will discuss a semi-implicit scheme that preserves Gauss' law exactly and in the non-relativistic limit.
