Abstract: Isoscalar monopole vibrations in spherical nuclei are studied within the Landau-Vlasov dynamics. Energy and strength of the giant monopole resonance (GMR) are well reproduced. The Landau damping of the monopole vibrations is analyzed. It is found that the local Fermi surface corresponding to the GMR is deformed. The collision integral is included within the relaxation time approximation. The found total width is too small to explain the observed one in heavy nuclei. Because the Landau damping is sensitive to the effective nuclear force the missing part of the width can be connected to certain properties of the latter.
