Title: THE BOUNDING OF INSTABILITIES OF THE PIC DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4712595· OSTI ID:4712595

A study was made of the effect of a nonlinearity on the stability properties of a simplified version of the PIC difference equations. An equilibrium amplitude of the fluctuations, resulting from the instability, was determined as a function of the parameters of the method. (auth)
