β¦ Synopsis
We present in this paper detailed numerical Vlasov simulations of the Hamiltonian Mean-Field model. This model is used as a representative of the class of systems under long-range interactions. We check existing results on the stability of the homogeneous situation and analyze numerical properties of the semi-Lagrangian time-split algorithm for solving the Vlasov equation. We also detail limitations due to finite resolution of the method.
