Convergence of a semi-Lagrangian scheme for the reduced Vlasov–Maxwell system for laser–plasma interaction

The subject matter of this paper concerns the numerical approximation of reduced Vlasov–Maxwell models by semi-Lagrangian schemes. Such reduced systems have been introduced recently in the literature for studying the laser–plasma interaction. We recall the main existence and uniqueness results on these topics, we present the semi-Lagrangian scheme and finally we establish the convergence of this scheme.
