Abstract
Generally, one can solve Botzmann’s equation only by using approxi-
mation methods, and the expansion of the distribution function in spher-
ical harmonics. In this paper, we shall study Boltzmann’s equation for
a fully ionised inhomogeneous plasma with Laguerre-Sonine polynomi-
als as coefficients of the spherical harmonics expansion. We establish
also the cross-coupling relations between Laguerre-Sonine polynomials
of different orders, useful relations in order to obtain the approximative
solutions of Boltzmann’s equation.

In order to solve eq. (1) in agreement with (i) and (ii) , we assume for
distribution function the following expansion:
