Abstract

In problems of plasma physics, characterized by the simultaneous presence of phenomena spanning well-separated time scales, theoretical methods can be devised in which time averages over the more rapid phenomenon are performed in order to calculate the parameters for the study of the evolution of the slower one. In some respects, the idea behind these methods is similar to the concept of ergodic theory in kinetic theory.
