We present a new simulation code for electrostatic waves in one dimension which uses the Vlasov equation to integrate the distribution function and Ampère's equation to integrate the electric field forward in time. Previous Vlasov codes used the Vlasov and Poisson equations. Using Ampère's equation

We present a discussion of some numerical algorithms for the solution of the Vlasov-Maxwell system of equations in the magnetized, nonrelativistic case. We show that a splitting scheme combined with a Van Leer type of discretization provides an efficient and accurate scheme for integrating the motio
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
