In this paper we present a novel particle method for the Vlasov–Poisson equation. Unlike in conventional particle methods, the particles are not interpreted as point charges, but as point values of the distribution function. In between the particles, the distribution function is reconstructed using mesh-free interpolation. Our numerical experiments confirm that this approach results in significantly increased accuracy and noise reduction. At the same time, many benefits of the conventional schemes are preserved.
