A novel implicit solver for the Vlasov-Maxwell system

Summary form only given. We present a novel method for solving Maxwell's equations, designed specifically to solve the Vlasov-Maxwell system. In such problems, the relevant plasma phenomena exist over a time scale that is long compared to that introduced by the speed of light. Our solver is built with the intent to accurately and efficiently simulate electrodynamics problems, but that can also transition to an efficient magneto static solver.
