Abstract

A generalized non-local nonlinear Schrödinger equation describing the phenomenon of nonlinear Landau damping in a relativistic two-component plasma is deduced using the kinetic-theory approach of Vlasov. Parameters appearing in the equation are evaluated explicitly for the case of a Maxwellian distribution function.
