Derivation of relativistic transport equations of a plasma in a strong electromagnetic field

In the framework of D. N. Zubarev's non-equilibrium statistical operator method, relativistic kinetic equation for a classical completely ionized small density plasma in strong rapidly changing electromagnetic field is deduced for the first time. In the particular case, when all the effects of external fields on the particle collision process are neglected, the collision integral obtained in the present work is transformed to the Landau relativistic collision integral obtained previously by other methods.
