Abstract

With an infinite system of balance equations, derived from the Boltzmann equation, conductivity expressions are obtained in the form of three-term recurrence relations leading to continued fractions. Without collisions, only Landau damping causes attenuation. Its modification by collisions is illustrated for some simple collision models.
