High order Runge-Kutta-Nyström splitting methods for the Vlasov-Poisson equation

چکیده
In this work, we derive the order conditions for fourth order time splitting schemes in the case of the 1D Vlasov-Poisson system. Computations to obtain such conditions are motivated by the specific Poisson structure of the Vlasov-Poisson system : this structure is similar to Runge-Kutta-Nyström systems. The obtained conditions are proved to be the same as RKN conditions derived for ODE up to the fourth order. Numerical results are performed and show the benefit of using high order splitting schemes in that context.

Multiscale Particle-in-Cell methods and comparisons for the long-time two-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equation with strong magnetic field
We applied different kinds of multiscale methods to numerically study the long-time Vlasov-Poisson equation with a strong magnetic field. The multiscale methods include an asymptotic preserving Runge-Kutta scheme, an exponential time discretization scheme, stroboscopic averaging method and a uniformly accurate two-scale formulation. We briefly review these methods and then adapt them to solve t...
متن کاملStudy of conservation and recurrence of Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin schemes for Vlasov-Poisson systems
In this paper we consider Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) schemes for Vlasov-Poisson systems that model collisionless plasmas. One-dimensional systems are emphasized. The RKDG method, originally devised to solve conservation laws, is seen to have excellent conservation properties, be readily designed for arbitrary order of accuracy, and capable of being used with a positivity-preservi...
متن کاملPositivity preserving semi-Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin formulation: Theoretical analysis and application to the Vlasov-Poisson system
Semi-Lagrangian (SL) methods have been very popular in the Vlasov simulation community [28, 2, 3, 18, 31, 4, 23, 25]. In this paper, we propose a new Strang split SL discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving the Vlasov equation. Specifically, we apply the Strang splitting for the Vlasov equation [5], as a way to decouple the nonlinear Vlasov system into a sequence of linear equations. To e...

متن کاملSymplectic Runge-Kutta-Nyström Methods with Phase-Lag Oder 8 and Infinity
In this work we consider Symplectic Runge Kutta Nyström methods with five stages. A new fourth algebraic order method with phase-lag order eight is presented. Also the symplectic Runge Kutta Nyström of Calvo and Sanz Serna with five stages and fourth order is modified to produce a phase-fitted method. We apply the new methods on several Hamiltonian systems and on the computation of the eigenval...
