The One

In a previous paper, the authors formulated the theory of irreversible processes in a spatially inhomogeneous plasma on the basis of Bogoliubov's theory as extended by Guernsey and Uhlenbeck. The kinetic equation, in terms of g(κ, n, t), the Fourier transform of the spatially inhomogeneous part f(r, n, t) of the one-particle distribution function F(r, n, t), has been obtained to the first order in 4πe2, all orders in (4πe2/ν), and the first order in κ which is related to the spatial inhomogeneity. In the present work, the mathematical part of the previous paper, especially the expansion in various orders in κ, has been revised. The kinetic equation is given in (33), in which are exhibited: (a) the stream term; (b) the corrections to the stream term arising from the "collisions"; (c) the Vlasov term; (d) the corrections, in the zeroth and the first order in κ, to the Vlasov term depending not only on the "static" effective field but also on the divergence of the mean current, these corrections being momentum-dependent and time-irreversible in nature; (e) the main "collision integral" which is time-irreversible, in the zeroth and the first order in κ.

Initial Value

The equations for the pair correlation of a slightly inhomogeneous plasma obtained under two different forms of Bogolubov's assumptions are solved and the results are shown to be identical. The results are then compared with the corresponding result for the initial value problem. The contribution of the latter to the kinetic equation is shown to relax slowly [Formula: see text] to the asymptotic (in the sense of Bogolubov) result. The present result differs from that of Wu and Rosenberg, who appear to have linearized their equations improperly.
