Description
Summary:We present novel iterative splitting methods to solve integrodifferential equations. Such integrodifferential equations are applied, for example, in scattering problems of plasma simulations. We concentrate on a linearised integral part and a reformulation to a system of first order differential equations. Such modifications allow for applying standard iterative splitting schemes and for extending the schemes, respecting the integral operator. A numerical analysis is presented of the system of semidiscretised differential equations as abstract Cauchy problems. In the applications, we present benchmark and initial realistic applications to transport problems with scattering terms. We also discuss the benefits of such iterative schemes as fast solver methods.
