✦ Synopsis

We report on the application of a commercially available differential equation solver library called TWODEPEP for the numerical solution of the relativistic Fokker-Planck equation. Results obtained by solving the runaway problem, and on the solution of the rf heating problem are presented.

## Abstract The paper considers the solution of the Fokker‐Planck‐Kolmogorov 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
