The homogeneous Fokker-Planck-Landau equation is investigated for Coulombic potential and isotropic distribution function, i.e., when the distribution function depends only on time and on the modulus of the velocity. We derive a conservative and entropy decaying semidiscretized Landau equation for w

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
## Abstract The paper considers the solution of the FokkerโPlanckโKolmogorov equation by the finite element method (FEM). The problem is set in a variational formulation suitable for the FEM. Some theoretical aspects related to applying the method are discussed. Discretization of the problem is car
A new approach for the accurate numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck-Landau (FPL) equation in the nonhomogeneous case is presented. The method couples, through a time-splitting algorithm, a finite-volume scheme for the transport with a fast spectral solver for the efficient solution of the collis
