Review text

A numerical method solving kinetic equations for semiconductors is presented. The well established technique for solving the Vlasov-Maxwell system is extended to this problem. The method is based on a finite-point approximation of the initial distribution and a rediscretization of the gain term in the collision integral. The equation \[ \partial_ tf=\int P(k,k')f(t,k')dk'-C(k)(t,k) \] for the one-dimensional case is studied. The convergence of the proposed number-theoretical method is shown. Numerical results of this approach are discussed in conclusion.
