Abstract
A theory of surface waves in a magnetoactive plasma with smooth boundaries has been developed. A dispersion equation for surface waves has been derived for a linear law of density change at the plasma boundary. The frequencies of surface waves and their collisionless damping rates have been determined. A generalization to an arbitrary density profile at the plasma boundary is given. The collisions have been taken into account, and the application of the Landau rule in the theory of surface wave damping in a spatially inhomogeneous magnetoactive collisional plasma has been clarified.
