The gyrokinetic treatment simplifies the Vlasov equation for the evolution of the single-particle distribution function <math>f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)</math> by averaging over the gyration angle, resulting in an evolution equation for the particle guiding centre. | The gyrokinetic treatment simplifies the [[:Wikipedia:Vlasov_equation|Vlasov equation]] for the evolution of the single-particle distribution function <math>f(\vec{x},\vec{v},t)</math> by averaging over the gyration angle, resulting in an evolution equation for the particle guiding centre. | ||
