Collective instabilities deal with beam coherent motion, where the Vlasov equa-tion is frequently used in conjunction with a beam-intensity dependent Hamiltonian. We address the questions: Are the two descriptions the same? Are collective instabilities the results of encountering parametric resonances whose driv-ing force is intensity dependent? The space-charge domi-nated beam governed by the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (K-V) envelope equation [1] is used as an example.
