  • Abstract
    The two-dimensional Vlasov equation is solved by direct integration in phase space. Two problems, namely the nonlinear evolution of the two-dimensional electrostatic two-stream instability, and the nonlinear evolution of a monochromatic wave in a two-dimensional Vlasov plasma, are studied. Comparison with previously available results is given.
