Numerical energy conservation in Fokker-Planck problems requires the energy moment of the Fokker-Planck equation to cancel exactly. However, standard discretization techniques not only do not observe this requirement (thus precluding exact energy conservation), but they also demand very refined mesh

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
We present fast numerical algorithms to solve the nonlinear Fokker-Planck-Landau equation in 3D velocity space. The discretization of the collision operator preserves the properties required by the physical nature of the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation, such as the conservation of mass, momentum, an
A new conservative difference scheme is presented for the periodic initial-value problem of Zakharov equations. The scheme can be implicit or semi-explicit, depending on the choice of a parameter. The discretization of the initial condition is of second-order accuracy, which is consistent with the a
## Abstract Let us consider a solution __f__(__x__,__v__,__t__)ϵ__L__^1^(ℝ^2N^ × [0,__T__]) of the kinetic equation equation image where |__v__|^α+1^ __f__~o~,|__v__|^α^ __ϵL__^1^ (ℝ__2N__ × [0, __T__]) for some α< 0. We prove that __f__ has a higher moment than what is expected. Namely, for any b
