A new scheme for solving the Vlasov equation using a phase space grid is proposed. The algorithm is based on the conservation of the flux of particles, and the distribution function is reconstructed using various techniques that allow control of spurious oscillations or preservation of the positivit

β¦ Synopsis
The Ostrovsky equation describes gravity waves under the influence of Coriolis force. It is known that solutions of this equation conserve the L 2 norm and an energy function that is determined non-locally. In this paper we propose four conservative numerical schemes for this equation: a finite difference scheme and a pseudospectral scheme that conserve the norm, and the same types of schemes that conserve the energy. A numerical comparison of these schemes is also provided, which indicates that the energy conservative schemes perform better than the norm conservative schemes.

Homogeneous Fokker-Planck-Landau equation denoted by FPLE is studied for Coulombian and isotropic distribution function, i.e. when the distribution function depends only on time and on the modulus of the velocity. We derive a new conservative and entropy decaying semi-discretized FPLE for which we p
