Convergence analysis of Strang splitting for Vlasov-type equations

Abstract

A rigorous convergence analysis of the Strang splitting algorithm for Vlasov-type equations in the setting of abstract evolution equations is provided. It is shown that under suitable assumptions the convergence is of second order in the time step τ. As an example, it is verified that the Vlasov-Poisson equation in 1+1 dimensions fits into the framework of this analysis. Also, numerical experiments for the latter case are presented.
