The method is valid for an arbitrary quasi-particle form-factor assuming that quasi-particle trajectory over time step is a straight line. The method allows one to implement the PIC code without solving Poisson equation. The presented formula for the current density associated with the motion of a single quasi-particle is the unique linear combination of form-factor differences in consistency with the discrete continuity equation. The computation scheme is demonstrated in 2D and 3D.
