Detailed Description

A class that solves a Boltzmann equation using Strang's splitting.

The solver splits the Boltzmann equation and separates the advective part from the source part. The sources refers to any operator that appears on the right-hand-side of Boltzmann's equation (typically, every operator except the advections). The splitting involves solving all the source terms on a dt/2 timestep, then solving the advections on a dt timestep using a Vlasov solver, then solving the sources again on dt/2 in reverse order.
