Integration of Vlasov equation by a fast Fourier Eulerian code

Abstract
A program computing the Vlasov-Poisson system in one dimension is presented. The method is based on time splitting, exact solution of the resulting equations and shift in phase space by FFT.

Title of program: VLFF
Catalogue Id: ABHD_v1_0

Nature of problem
We look for a solution of the one dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system for a non collisional spatially periodic plasma, starting from an initial condition, here a two stream distribution function or an n holes BGK equilibrium, slightly perturbed.
