Abstract
The probability density function (PDF) modeling of the charging of dust particles in homogeneous plasma was studied. The interactions between the phase space density of plasma and dust particles were analyzed. The closure problem in the PDF equation was solved using direct interaction approximation method. An integrodifferential equation for PDF and Green's function was obtained. Fluctuations in charge on dust particles were analyzed by approximate macroscopic equations. The approximate equations computed for Maxwellian plasma showed the effect of density fluctuations of plasma particles on statistics of the dust charge.
