We introduce and analyze two new semi-discrete numerical methods for the multi-dimensional Vlasov–Poisson system. The schemes are constructed by combining a discontinuous Galerkin approximation to the Vlasov equation together with a mixed finite element method for the Poisson problem. We show optimal error estimates in the case of smooth compactly supported initial data. We propose a scheme that preserves the total energy of the system.
