Electromagnetic gyrokinetic PIC simulation with an adjustable control variates method (Q2381162)

In the present paper the authors study the inaccuracy problem of electromagnetic gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulation. This problem is connected to the discretization of the field equations. Based on this method there are derived five schemes and two iterative counterparts of schemes. The numerical results of simulations of a slab problem in the magnetohydrodynamic limit using these schemes are presented in the last section of the paper.
