Abstract
Characteristic examples of continuous symmetries in
hydrodynamic plasma theory (partial differential equations) and in
kinetic Vlasov-Maxwell models (integro-differential equations)
are considered. Possible symmetry extensions conditional and
extended symmetries are discussed. Physical reasons for these
symmetry extensions are clarified.
Key words:
symmetry; plasma; hydrodynamic; kinetic.
