Kinetic simulations of collisionless (or weakly collisional) plasmas using the Vlasov equation are often infeasible due to high resolution requirements and the exponential scaling of computational cost with respect to dimension. Recently,…

In recent years, kinetic equations have been used to model many social phenomena. A key feature of these models is that transition rate kernels involve Dirac delta functions, which capture sudden, discontinuous state changes. Here, we study…
