  • Abstract
    By using the linearized equations of motion for particle streams, and by properly including the initial conditions, Landau´s equations for electrostatic wave propagation with the correct damping decrement are easily obtained. No Vlasov equation, Laplace transform, contour integration, evaluation of residues at singularities, or analytical continuation is required. A discussion of the validity of the linearization is included.
