Abstract
To fine the reasons for the distortion of a cylindrical hollow cathode into a row of hollow spheres, the system of diffusion equations for the three most important types of particles in the hollow cathode discharge is solved, taking into consideration the essential source terms. In qualitative agreement with the experiments, the results show inhomogeneities of the cathode erosion at the cathode edges and at the boundary between hollow cathode discharge and normal glow discharge areas.
