Abstract
The numerical resolution of the Vlasov equation provides complementary information with respect to analytical studies and forms an important research tool in domains such as plasma physics. The study of mean-field models for systems with long-range interactions is another field in which the Vlasov equation plays an important role. We present the vmf90 program that performs numerical simulations of the Vlasov equation for this class of mean-field models with the semi-Lagrangian method.
