Summary
A Volterra-Wiener functional scheme for solving nonlinear equations is presented. Several problems in plasma physics and thermonuclear fusion which can be solved accurately by using this method are discussed. A nonlinear kinetic-theory problem of plasma shocks is solved as an example.
Riassunto
Si presenta uno schema funzionale di Volterra-Wiener per risolvere le equazioni non lineari. Si discutono diversi problemi della fisica dei plasmi e della fusione termonuclear che si possono risolvere accuratamente con questo metodo. Si risolve come esempio un problema della teoria cinetica non lineare degli urti del plasma.
Реэюме
Представлена функциональная схема Вольтера-Винера для рещения нелинейных уравнений. Обсуждаются некоторые проблемы в фиэике плаэмы и термоядерного синтеэа, которые могут быть аккуратно рещены с помошью зтого метода. Как пример, рещается проблема нелинейной кинетической теории для ударных волн в плаэме.
