Summary: This paper is devoted to the comparison of deterministic schemes to approximate the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation. We first recall the basic idea of spectral and multigrid methods, and compare them to evaluate their cost, accuracy and robustness. We also present a new method that is very efficient for quasi-isotropic distribution function. We finally implement a method to deal with numerical simulations in nonhomogeneous situation.
