Distribution is a ubiquitous data type in high energy physics (HEP), many other sciences, and our daily life. When the space of distributions is equipped with a suitable metric, previously ad-hoc notions of similarity can now be formulated in a...

Conservative finite difference methods have proven extremely robust and reliable for magnetohydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers. However, finite difference methods are generally less accurate and efficient than spectral methods...
