The solution of the initial value problem is treated, for the collisionless nonrelativistic linearized BoltzmannVlasov equation for longitudinal and transversal plasma oscillations. Ions are treated as a positive charge background. The method of solution is based upon the eigenfunction expansion method. The problem is reduced to the solution of a system of singular integral equations. In the case of the (anisotropic) equilibrium distribution function, the phenomenon of coupling of longitudinal and transversal plasma oscillations is found and discussed. (auth)
