AbstractThe properties of non-planar (cylindrical and spherical) ion acoustic solitary waves (IASWs) in an unmagnetized collisionless electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma, whose constituents are inertial ions and superthermal/non-Maxwellian electrons and positrons (represented by the kappa (κ) distribution), are investigated by deriving the modified Gardner (MG) equation. The well-known reductive perturbation method is employed to derive the MG equation. The basic features of non-planar IA Gardner solitons (GSs) are discussed. It is seen that the properties of non-planar IAGSs (positive and negative) differ significantly as the value of spectral index kappa changes.

Abstract In this work, we are concerned with the ion acoustic quasi-soliton in an electron-positron-ion plasma with superthermal electrons and positrons. By using the reductive perturbation method, the Korteweg-de Vries equation is derived from the governing equations of ion acoustic waves. An interesting soliton-cnoidal wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation and its quasi-soliton behaviour are presented. The influence of electron superthermality, positron superthermality and positron concentration ratio on characteristics of the quasi-soliton is confirmed to be significant.
