  • Abstract
    The algebraic identity (ab)^{-1} = (b \\pm a)^{-1}(a^{-1} \\pm b^{-1}) is used to reduce the average over thermal velocities of a product of Lorentzian line shapes to a product of Lorentzian line shapes which do not depend on velocity and a sum of plasma dispersion Z-functions. Scaling is used to cancel the velocity-dependent terms in (b \\pm a).(abc... )^{-1} may be reduced by systematic application of the above identity and tedious integrations can be replaced by algebraic procedures.
