Review text

The propagation of disturbances are studied by the method of space-time convolution integral equations. The study is restricted to linearized Vlasov plasmas (as a kind of linear response investigation). Although a vast literature on the subject is available, this study presents new results, since a complete discussion of space-time response of equilibrium (Maxwell or Lorentz) plasmas seems to be lacking hitherto. The coupled linearized Vlasov, Ampère and Poisson equations are written down in terms of a first-order distribution disturbance around an equilibrium one, and from these an integral equation is derived. This contains a kernel which describes the effect of the forcing field, an another term takes into account the effect of the initial state of the plasma. The integral equation (obtained without the use of the Fourier-Laplace transformation technique) is of Volterra-type; thus the existence, uniqueness and analyticity of solutions are guaranted. The dynamic response of perturbed equilibrium plasmas is studied together with the underlying physics (relations between propagation waves and diffusion processes). The authors show that the space-reflexibility and time-reversibility can be recognized from the form of the resolvent. In special cases, numerical investigations are necessary.
