Description

Nonlinear coupling factors for low frequency modes in inhomogeneous plasmas are derived by the method of integration along unperturbed orbits. The results are found to agree with those of previous theory in appropriate limits. It is also found that the diamagnetic drift terms may significantly modify the nonlinear cascade processes.
