Abstract

The kinetic equation obtained in parts 1 and 2 is treated stochastically: the external field is stochastic, with an average and a fluctuating part. The turbulence of the system is described by the induced fluctuations in the plasma, and a general equation is derived for the average distribution function. As a particular case, the stochastic Vlasov equation is treated explicitly, and compared with the descriptions of Dupree, Weinstock and Benford & Thomson.
