Review text

The author proposes a new algorithm for long time-step advances of charged particles in weakly nonhomogeneous and nonstationary electromagnetic fields with \(| B|>| E|\). This \((2+1)\)D process is a good alternative to traditional particle pushing. The method would be applicable to typical configurations of high energy astrophysics.
