Description

The Vlasow-Poisson equation, which is an infinite dimensional noncanonical Hamiltonian system, is linearized about a stable homogeneous equilibrium. Canonical variables for the resulting linear system are obtained. A coordinate transformation is introduced that brings the system, which possesses a continue spectrum, into the action-angle form where the linearized energy is diagonal. (author). 20 refs
