Extreme and isolated eigenvalues are known to be harmful to the convergence of an iterative solver. These eigenvalues can be produced by strong heterogeneity in the underlying physics. We can improve the quality of the spectrum by…
Non-ideal fluids are likely to be affected by the occurrence of pressure anisotropy effects, whose understanding for relativistic systems requires knowledge of the energy-momentum tensor. In this paper the case of magnetized jet plasmas at…
