A stability analysis is performed for solitary ion-acoustic waves in a magnetized plasma in which the electrons are non-isothermal. Including the effect of ion drift velocity and magnetic perturbation, a three-dimensional mKdV equation is derived for ion-acoustic waves. The solitary-wave solution of this equation is found to have a sech4 profile. A stability analysis of this solitary wave is performed using the small-k perturbation expansion method of Rowlands and Infeld. A condition for the onset of instability is obtained. The growth rate of the instability is found to attain a maximum for perturbations in the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the solitary wave.

We study the stability of positive radially symmetric solitary waves for a three dimensional generalisation of the Korteweg de Vries equation, which describes nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a magnetised plasma, and for a generalisation in dimension two of the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation.

We consider here the nonlinear development of ion-acoustic waves in a magnetized plasma, and give a further discussion of the analytical properties of the Zakharov-Kuznestov equation that governs the latter problem. First we discuss the solitary-wave solutions and show that they give a good description of recent experimental results about the manner in which the magnetic field influences the solitary waves. We then exhibit recurrence and Lagrange stability of solutions of the Zakharov-Kuznestov equation.
