Résumé : The general description of a strongly inhomogeneous one-component plasma in the so-called "ring" approximation is derived. Using the general theory of inhomogeneous systems, the closed system of two equations in one-particle phase space is obtained. The additional equation for some function, which appears in the collisions term, has the form of a Vlasov equation linearized around the inhomogeneous one-particle distribution function. The meaning of the parameters which appear in this equation is discussed. This equation is solved in the hydrodynamic approximation. The collision operator in the Markoffian limit reduces to the well-known form. The velocity distribution function for the inhomogeneous state is discussed and some additional terms to the usual Balescu-Guernsey-Lenard equation, in the case of no square-integrable inhomogeneity factors, are obtained. The influence of initial correlation is discussed.
