Perturbation approach to plasma oscillations

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that the complete spectrum, continuous as well as discrete, and corresponding eigenfunctions of the Vlasov operator can be obtained by a single perturbation procedure from the purely continuous spectrum and corresponding eigenfunctions of the free-streaming operator. In addition we present an alternative definition of the eigenfunctions and show that the problem of normalizing the continuous eigenmodes is thus solved automatically.
