摘要
An equation for the evolution of deltaf is shown to be redundant in the deltaf particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation scheme. Having eliminated this equation, an adaptive f(0) construction is shown to follow intuitively and to be straight forward to implement. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
