The method works directly with the magnetic field components and combines this component formulation with the gradient recovery operator of [T. Chu, H. Guo, and Z. Zhang, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 63 (2025), pp. 23--53]. We establish discrete energy stability for a semi-implicit structure-preserving formulation and use an explicit-Hall integrating-factor implementation for efficient computation on periodic grids. The fractional dissipation is treated exactly in Fourier space, and the in-plane divergence constraint is enforced by a spectral Hodge projection. Numerical experiments demonstrate second-order spatial convergence and stable Hall-driven dynamics across several benchmark tests. Current browse context: math.NA References & Citations Loading...
