Abstract
We present an alternative and simple method for solving kinetic equati ons which is based on a spline expansion of the one-body phase space o ccupation. The usefulness of the method is illustrated by studying the dynamic evolution of a hot and compressed infinite slab of nuclear ma tter, in the framework of the Vlasov approach.
