Abstract
Vlasov's equation and the full set of Maxwell's equations are solved as an initial value problem in a semi-infinite plasma. On specifying boundary conditions, a dispersion relation is obtained for surface waves in two situations, one without a wave incident on the boundary, the other with such a wave. The former case includes all previous results as special cases. In the latter case, it is found that surface waves cannot be excited by a wave incident on the boundary.
