Abstract
Numerical methods that approximate the solution of the Vlasov--Poisson equation by a low-rank representation have been considered recently. These methods can be extremely effective from a computational point of view, but contrary to most semi-Lagrangian or Eulerian Vlasov solvers, they do not conserve mass and momentum, neither globally nor in respecting the corresponding local conservation laws. This can be a significant limitation for intermediate and long time integration. In this paper we propose a numerical algorithm that overcomes some of these difficulties and demonstrate its utility by presenting numerical simulations.
