Description
A nonlocal kinetic equation is derived for the symmetric part of the distribution function of suprathermal electrons. It is shown that Albritton equations are merely local approximations to the total kinetic equation. Even in the simplest situation, the local approximations of the nonlocal effects are impossible to construct because of the interdependence of the variables. A self-similar solution to the equations under study is proposed
