Abstract
The choice of functions is determined by several criteria: (1) the functions must provide an accurate representation of the Coulomb collision operator; (2) the representation must be efficient in that physical plasmas be represented by as few terms as possible in order to minimize both computer time and storage requirements; and (3) the collision and Vlasov operators must lead to simple expressions which can be rapidly and easily calculated. The collision operator is developed both for the non-linear and approximately linear cases.
