“…For improved pedestal neoclassical calculations, some researchers [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] have considered a model that may be termed "global full-f ", in contrast to the conventional approach [1,2,[16][17][18] which may be called "local δf ." In a full-f code, the entire distribution function f is solved for, whereas in a δf code, one only solves for the departure from a Maxwellian, with the Maxwellian constant on each flux surface.…”
