An Explicit Energy-Conserving Particle Method for the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck Equation

Abstract. We propose an explicit particle method for the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation that conserves energy at the fully discrete level. The method features two key components: a deterministic and conservative particle discretization for the nonlinear Fokker–Planck operator (als...
